SOME UNPUBLISHED CORRESPONDENCE of JOHN ADAMS and RICHARD RUSH, I8ii-I8i6 II
SOME UNPUBLISHED CORRESPONDENCE OF JOHN ADAMS AND RICHARD RUSH, i8iI-I8i6 II. Washington October 24. 1813. Dear Sir. As soon as I received your acceptable and instructing letter of the 8th of this month, I wrote to a friend in Philadelphia, who is much in the literary and political way, to beg he would inform me, if he knew, who had been writing or preparing to write a commentary upon the ^Defence of the American constitutions,' for that I had understood there was such a work on hand, if not published. As to myself, I knew not. In his answer, which I received yesterday he answers, i6go quoque non sum injormatus? I infer, most probably, it has not had its birth in our part of the country; or to the south; but in New England, where, I fancy, the most of our writers are to be found. I venture, Sir, to infer another thing also, from the ignorance of my correspondent, from your ignorance, and from my not being able to learn any thing from my associates in this capital, as to the author;—and that is, that he is not likely to be any body very prominent, and that the "Defence" will continue to be complimented by statesmen as it has already been, and to supply the constructors of human governments with many great ideas of political and historical truth, long after the 630 pages have had their day. That he has written in the candid spirit of a gentleman, I am happy, however, to hear. All such books deserve to be read with candour when they treat of such important subjects. -

Item No. 1 a Landmark Examination of the Principles of Republican
Item No. 1 A Landmark Examination of the Principles of Republican Government 1. Adams, John: A DEFENCE OF THE CONSTITUTIONS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. New York: Reprinted and sold by H. Gaine., 1787. 12mo. xxiii, [1 blank], 390, [4- Contents] pp. Bound in modern quarter calf and marbled boards, gilt-lettered morocco spine label. Light rubberstamp and light blindstamp to title page; blank lower corner at leaf 373-374 expertly repaired. Very Good, with ownership signatures of Barnabas Bidwell and [at page 100] Marshall Bidwell. Contemporary ink notations in margins, with occasional underlining of text. The first edition issued from London in 1787. This or a Philadelphia printing is the first American edition. Adams's landmark study of the principles of government appeared while the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia deliberated. "John Adams, it is safe to say, bestowed more thought on the nature of government, and exerted more influence in determining the character of the constitutions adopted during the Revolution by most of the original states, than any one of his contemporaries. When, therefore, Turgot attacked these constitutions because of 'an unreasonable imitation of the usages of England,' and because of a want of centralization, it was natural that Adams should come forward as their champion" [Larned]. But "it is chiefly remembered for the unjustifiable partisan interpretation given to it in later years as an attempt to favor a monarchy" [DAB]. Howes A60. Evans 20177. Larned 2687.

Owens-History of Congress Conf 18May15
Macon and Stevenson: The Evolution of the Proto-Partisan Speakership in the Ante Bellum House.1 John E. Owens The Centre for the Study of Democracy The University of Westminster, London and Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies American University, Washington, DC Paper presented to the Congress and History Conference, Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, 21-23 May 2015. 1 Special thanks to Jim Thurber for providing a congenial base for my research at the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at the American University, Washington, DC. Thanks also to Barbara Bair for assistance with the Stevenson and Van Buren papers at the Library of Congress. 1 There is broad agreement in the literature that the US House of Representatives did not acquire a partisan speakership until at least after the Civil War. Why this type of speakership emerged at this time has to do with the political context provided by an increasingly stable and competitive the two-party system and the agency of individual speakers. Parties within the House and outside became increasingly cohesive and polarised (Cooper and Brady 1981; Jenkins 1999; Rohde and Shepsle 1987) and the speakership of the became “an artefact and architect of party government” (Peters 1997: 51) as majority party members tended to choose speakers like Blaine, Randall, Reed, and Cannon who were partisan activists, more ideologically extreme, less conciliatory, and more likely to appoint party loyalists to committees and chairs (Brady 1973: 43-92, 143-80; Brady, Cooper and Hurley 1979: 26-49; Cooper and Brady 1981: 414-15; Finocchiaro and Rohde 2007: 259-70; Galloway 1976: 128-159; Hinckley 1983: 166-67; Schickler 2001: 27-84). -

Executive Power and the Rule of Law in the Marshall Court: a Rereading of Little V
EXECUTIVE POWER AND THE RULE OF LAW IN THE MARSHALL COURT: A REREADING OF LITTLE V. BARREME AND MURRAY V. SCHOONER CHARMING BETSY Jane Manners* This Essay uses two 1804 opinions by Chief Justice John Marshall to explicate a world in which understandings of executive power and the rule of law were very different from those that predominate today. Scholars have misread Little v. Barreme and Murray v. Schooner Charming Betsy, this Essay argues, because they apply modern assumptions about the balance of power between Congress and the executive that do not fit the Marshall Court’s constitutional vision. Contemporary interpretations read Little for the propositions that the president’s inherent wartime power may be limited by statute and that early American jurists rejected officers’ “good faith” defenses to liability for tortious acts. But the opinion in fact reflects the Marshall Court’s view that, in an undeclared war, the president could not act at all unless authorized by Congress and that under no circumstances could the president give an officer a right to act where Congress had not. Charming Betsy, meanwhile, is known today for the “Charming Betsy canon”: Marshall’s assertion that wherever possible, courts ought to interpret the laws of Congress to accord with international law. In its historical context, however, the case illustrates Marshall’s view of the law of nations not as an external constraint on sovereignty—a common understanding of international law’s role today—but as an aspect of the rule of law critical to preserving the proper allocation of powers between Congress and the president. -
