Abstract

What to Do with the Supreme Court? The Value of Judicial Review

Fraenkel, Osmond K. | July 10, 1935 issue

add to cart close window

This article focuses on the value of the judiciary in a country with special reference to the U.S. Supreme Court. Whenever a particular social reform is urged upon a state legislature, the argument is advanced that enactment of such reform will drive industry from that state into others less solicitous for the workers' welfare. The progress of many reforms--especially the abolition of child labor--has been delayed by just such considerations; hence the need for federal action in the major fields of social betterment.
