Excerpt from Leading Cases in Constitutional Law Briefly Stated: With Introduction, Excursuses, and Notes We may now proceed to look in cases and judicial decisions for illustrations and proofs of the constitutional limitations of these several branches of the supreme power, taking them in the order here laid down. One caution must be borne in mind as to the use of the term 'leading Cases.' The ordinary use of the expression indicates a case that settles the law upon some important question.1 But it will be observed with regard to these constitutional cases, that in some in stances the decisions of the judges were wrong, whether through error of judgment or servility. In some in stances the legislature has interfered, and has settled the law, usually by statute or in others the better opinion has tacitly reasserted itself. Yet these cases may be fairly called 'leading, ' as being of the greatest import ance in the history of the constitution. Although they cannot themselves be directly cited for the purpose, yet the whole proceedings connected with them do establish the law on the principle involved. And the peculiar im portance of constitutional law, and its intimate connec tion with our national life and political development, lend a special interest and value to the records of each step in those proceedings.
