Excerpt from Early History of the Federal Supreme Court We owe much to the marvelous courage and to the prophetic faith of the justices of our early Supreme Court, we owe much to the statesman ship and to the courage of. Our judges of to-day.' There was a danger that the struggle for inde i pendence would be a mere revolt, Washington and Hamilton made it a revolution. There was danger that it would be a mere throwing off the restraints of the past and that it would result in civil war and in anarchy. The justices of the Supreme Court laid the foundation for a land of settled government and for a progres sive but at the same time a permanent democ racy. It was their vision of America and it was their great courage in asserting their powers, which made the United States a self-contained and virile nation rather than a feeble federation of jealous and warring states. It was they who gave us a government of law and not of men and who laid the foundation for and whomade pos sible the far-¿ung battle line of our great but cosmopolitan democracy.
