This book attempted to blend the so-called new legal history with the usual emphasis on great cases. Large sections were devoted to topics that did not appear in the traditional constitutional history texts: common law developments, the relationship of commercial growth to legal change, the rise of the legal profession, changes in legal education, and the handling of certain key issues at the state level. These section grew out of a belief that the Supreme Court does not act in a vacuum, and that the great powers of the federal government to regulate interstate commerce, for example, is closely related to commercial law and economic developments in the states. In some instances, the high court reflects trends already apparent at the state level; in other cases, its decisions determine what happens in state law.
