placed 1t would have found flourish
ing everywhere the seeds of interstate
discord, bringing national enfeeble-
ment. From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
a weller of rivalries, misunderstanding
cross purposes. would have arisen which
would have made United States a
derisory term. From these calamities
it was saved by John Marshall"
In an analysis of Marshalls decisions.
Lord Craigmyle declared the Supreme
Court, with Marshall at its head, in
successive steps stretched cut re-
straining hand over the legislature and
the executive, and brought all OF the
States of the Union to the bar of the
Constitution"
The predominating authority of the
great charter of American life" Lord
Craigmyle continued. ''cf freedom, CO.
hesion, settled authority. had been de-
clared. The voice and instrument OF
that declaration was the Supreme Court
over which Marshall presided. After
many threatenings, at last it became
in truth the court supreme"
