Abstract

James F. Simon makes an interesting statement in his book, "what kind of nation: Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, and the Epic Struggle to Create a United States," Simon proclaims that the tension between Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall played a huge role in the shaping of our nation. Their clash was over states' rights versus a commanding federal government- a clash over the independence of the judiciary and the power of the president. According to Simon, this issue and Jefferson and Marshall's confrontation is one of the most decisive quarrels between a president and a chief justice in American history, as it defined basic constitutional principles that still surface today in debates over the role of the states and the Supreme Court in interpreting laws.
