Historical And Legal Examination Of That Part Of The Decision Of The Supreme Court Of The United States In The Dred Scott Case is a book written by Thomas Hart Benton. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the infamous Dred Scott case, which was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1857. The Dred Scott case was a landmark decision that ruled that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, could not be considered citizens of the United States and therefore had no right to sue in federal court. The decision also declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, which had prohibited slavery in certain territories.Benton, a former senator from Missouri, was a strong opponent of the decision and believed that it was based on flawed legal reasoning. In his book, he provides a historical and legal examination of the decision, arguing that it was not only unjust but also violated the principles of the Constitution.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the case. Benton discusses the history of slavery in the United States, the legal arguments put forth by both sides, and the impact of the decision on the country. He also provides a detailed analysis of the opinions of the Supreme Court justices, highlighting their biases and inconsistencies.Overall, Historical And Legal Examination Of That Part Of The Decision Of The Supreme Court Of The United States In The Dred Scott Case is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most significant legal cases in American history. It sheds light on the complex issues of race, citizenship, and the Constitution that continue to shape the country today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
