Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fiat Money: A Review of the Decisions of the United States Supreme Court as to Its Constitutionality The Supreme Court (U.S.), before the time of the Dred Scott decision, had commanded the respect and confidence of the public so fully that its decisions were everywhere accepted as authority; and it would then have been difficult, if not impossible, to raise any doubt or mistrust in the public mind as to their legal soundness. The Dred Scott decision, however, opened the eyes of the public to the fact that the judicial mind was not always free from political prejudice, and that strictly judicial considerations do not always prevail or predominate in the deliberations of legal tribunals, even of the highest grade. But the influence of political considerations upon this eminent tribunal was never more strongly manifested than in the disposition of the cases growing out of the Legal-Tender Act of 1862, and the subsequent Act of 1878; these cases having been first passed upon by that court in 1870, and afterwards in 1871 and 1884. In February, 1862, for the first time, the Congress of the United States passed an Act, since known as the Legal-Tender Act, by which it was provided that the notes of the United States government, since called greenbacks, should be lawful money and legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, within the United States, except duties on imports and interest (on government bonds).
