Decision of Chief Justice Taney in the Merryman Case Upon the Writ of Habeas Corpus, and Habeas Corpus and Martial Law is a book written by Roger Brooke Taney in 1862. The book provides a detailed account of the famous Merryman case, where Taney, as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, ruled that President Abraham Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus during the American Civil War was unconstitutional. Taney's decision in the Merryman case was a significant blow to Lincoln's authority and sparked a heated debate about the limits of presidential power during times of war. In addition to the Merryman case, the book also explores the broader issues surrounding habeas corpus and martial law, including their historical origins and their place in the American legal system.Overall, Decision of Chief Justice Taney in the Merryman Case Upon the Writ of Habeas Corpus, and Habeas Corpus and Martial Law is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American legal history, civil liberties, and the balance of power between the branches of government.Also Contains The Privilege Of The Writ Of Habeas Corpus Under The Constitution; Habeas Corpus, The Law Of War And Confiscation; And More.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
