THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BALTIMORE RAILWAYS CASE
Abstract
It has been said that an American citizen will never understand the form of government under which he is living, unless he understands why we must have a Supreme Court; and he will never understand why we must have a Supreme Court, until he understands the form of government under which he is living; that he must thoroughly grasp the fact that the existence of the American form of government requires for its preservation the existence of a Supreme Court; that it might be possible to have a republic without a Supreme Court but it would be a republic with a consolidated and autocratic government, one in which the absolute power would be vested in Congress.
