  • Joseph Story
    From Republican Scholar to Federalist Judge: The Transformation of Joseph Story Bethany Spare Dr. Sanders History 586 April 28, 201 FROM REPUBLICAN SCHOLAR TO FEDERALIST JUDGE: THE TRANSFORMATION OF JOSEPH STORY Author: Bethany Spare History 586: Senior Seminar Dr. Charles Sanders Joseph Story sat on the Supreme Court with Chief Justice John Marshall and in many ways it seemed like Marshall simply overshadowed the younger justice. However, Story began his political and legal career as a member of the Republican Party. What changed his mind, why did he change from a supporter of the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans to a firm defender of the Federalist Party while on the Supreme Court? Story‟s letters, speeches, and Commentaries were analyzed to find evidence. Kent Newmyer, Gerald Dunne, and Joseph McClellan are three modern historians who were consulted as well. Story was not a man to be led by others‟ opinions, once he was convinced in his own mind that a course of action was right, he would not be swayed until he saw that that course was no longer allowing him to follow his conscience. While a young man he defended the Republican Party but as he grew to respect the law and especially the English common law—practiced also in America—the Republican Party became more and more restrictive. Finally convinced that the best way was to defend the “science of law,” and the study of jurisprudence over all other considerations, he saw that the Federalist Party would allow him to do just that.

    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

  • Actions by the Senate, the Judiciary Committee, and the President
    Order Code RL33225 Supreme Court Nominations, 1789 - 2006: Actions by the Senate, the Judiciary Committee, and the President Updated September 15, 2006 Denis Steven Rutkus Specialist in American National Government Government and Finance Division Maureen Bearden Information Research Specialist Government and Finance Division Supreme Court Nominations, 1789 - 2006: Actions by the Senate, the Judiciary Committee, and the President Summary The process of appointing Supreme Court Justices has undergone changes over two centuries, but its most basic feature, the sharing of power between the President and Senate, has remained unchanged. To receive a lifetime appointment to the Court, a candidate must first be nominated by the President and then confirmed by the Senate. A key role also has come to be played midway in the process by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Table 1 of this report lists and describes actions taken by the Senate, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the President on all Supreme Court nominations, from 1789 to the present. The table provides the name of each person nominated to the Court and the name of the President making the nomination. It also tracks the dates of formal actions taken, and time elapsing between these actions, by the Senate or Senate Judiciary Committee on each nomination, starting with the date that the Senate received the nomination from the President. Thirty-nine of the 42 Presidents in the history of the United States have made a total of 158 nominations to the Supreme Court, of which 122 (more than three- quarters) received Senate confirmation. Also, on 12 occasions in the nation’s history, Presidents have made temporary recess appointments to the Court, without submitting nominations to the Senate.

  • Tlrbt Rlolcotts of Enbsor
    tlrbt Rlolcotts of Enbsor, {<!onnJ by Donald Bergquist Mr. Bergquist is a native of Connecticut and a direct descendant of many early Connecticut families. He is a Vice President and Assistant Registrar of the Society of Descendants of Henry Wolcott. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Bridgeport and M.B.A. from Columbia University. He is employed by the Amstar Corp. of New York City as Director of Marketing for Domino Sugar. Mr. Bergquist is member 0 3033 in the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. In conjunction with our nation's Bicentennial, Dr. Christopher Collier, Professor of History at the University of Bridgeport, published a monograph entitled "Connecticut in the Continental Congress." The opening paragraph of Professor Collier's monograph provides a vivid description of Connecticut families during the pre-Revolutionary period. "Connecticuters were always a quarrelsome people, arguing, contending, disputing and litigating. But their quarrels were those of friends and relations, really all in the family. As bitter as they might seem at times, they lived together and worked together on the small piece of land that was Connecticut, and their fundamental instincts were collective and co-operative, not individ­ ualistic and selfish. To call their squabbling family quarrels is almost a literal truth. For colonial Connect­ icut was run by a collection of families so tied together by blood and marriage that any disagreement at all inevitably fo\llld family members on both sides of every question. The tribal nature of Connecticut leadership is magnificently demonstrated in the person of Ursula Wolcott who married her cousin, Matthew Griswold, and thus became the daughter, sister, wife and mother of Connecticut governors, as well as cousin of four more of them." Professor Collier is certainly correct as far as he goes, but he neglects to mention that Ursula Wolcott Gris­ wold was also the aunt of a Connecticut governor (her nephew was Oliver Wolcott Jr.).
