From the Battlefield to the Bench May 8, 2009

Keith Marshall Jones, John Marshall descendant and author of Congress As My Government: Chief Justice John Marshall in the American Revolution (1775–1781), and Cliff Sloan and David McLean, authors of The Great Decision: Jefferson, Adams, Marshall, and the Battle for the Supreme Court, will discuss John Marshall’s pivotal role in establishing the separation of powers and how Marshall’s service in the Continental army reinforced his belief in nationalism and a strong central government. This event is co-sponsored by the John Marshall Foundation.
