Summary:

Examines origins of the political question doctrine, according to which Federal courts will not adjudicate certain controversies because their resolution is more proper within the political branches; and reviews modern Supreme Court case law on the matter. Explores significant applications of the doctrine in lower Federal courts, and addresses recent Supreme Court case rejecting application of the doctrine that may have significant implications for the political question doctrine in the future.
