Summary:

The new reference series, Landmark Events in U.S. History, uses both contributed essays from eminent scholars and excerpts of primary source documents with explanatory headnotes to focus on critical events in American political history and explains how it came about and why it continues to play such a vital role in the history and political evolution of the United States. The first three books in the series are Marbury versus Madison, The Louisiana Purchase, and Declaration of Independence.

Marbury versus Madison combines documents and analytical essays timed for the bicentennial in 2003. This essential collection will explain: -- the constitutional, political, philosophical background to judicial review-- the historical record leading to this landmark case-- the impact of the decision since 1803-- its impact on the world stage, especially for new and emerging democratic nations.
