haustible The Republicans believed
then that the people had right to in

their interpretations in laws. 1t was
their boast for years that the people had
reversed the supreme court.
In 1860 Governor Andrew of Massa-
chusetts, running for governor on a Re-
publican platform which branded "as
usurpation the opinion given by mem
bers Of the supreme court" declared:
Inc CONSTITUTION OF inc I n1ten

From that decision the people appeal,

Republican Justice Harlan denounced
