Highlights in pencil to multiple earmarked pages throughout text including: “But he [James Madison] went on to show that checks and balances were not contrary to the principle. As the constitution developed, the greatest of these checks and balances was the Supreme Court of the United States, which, under the inspiration of Chief Justice Marshall, assumed to itself the power of declaring invalid not only the acts of the President, but also the acts of the congress itself, on the ground that they offended the constitution [p. 27]”; “Consequently there is a much more complicated system of limitations. Moreover the federal courts have decided that under the constitution they have the right to whom any given power rests. Thus in the United States, as in Canada and Australia, there is a large body of judicial decisions rendered by the courts in dealing with questions as to the distribution of powers. The lawyer has to be familiar with these. [p. 63]”; additionally, pp. 124, 144; 260 earmarked (with no markings).
