The Judicial Branch of the Federal Government
U.S. Government: The Separation of Powers
The system of courts in the United States serves to enforce the laws of the nation as well as act as a check to make sure the other branches of government obey the powers set forth by the Constitution. Through a series of landmark court cases--chronicled in this book with an explanation of their lasting impact--the judiciary has shaped the laws of the nation. Biographical sketches of important Supreme Court Justices and information about the powers of the judiciary are thoughtfully and thoroughly presented.
