The early justices struggled to give definition to such concepts as \"judicial review\" and \"separation of powers.\" The early court approached its role in ways that would be startling today, often using its power to support the new government rather than merely serving as an independent arbiter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Jay-Ellsworth Courts were the first to take up the role of interpreting the constitution, and their approach influenced constitutional debates for the next two centuries. Clearly, this is a book for any reader who wishes to understand how the court was initially set up and how it functioned in our early judicial history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew P.
