Albert Beveridge: “Marshall thus suggested the most radical method for correcting judicial decisions ever advanced, before or since, by any…”

To Marshall reared--the great, the good, the wise; Born for all ages, honored in all skies; His was the fame to mortals rarely given, Begun on earth, but fixed in aim on heaven.

No! but snatched from time, To bloom afresh in yonder sphere sublime.

These had power To charm through life and cheer his dying hour.

There can be little doubt that a majority of the people did not favor the Constitution when adopted by the Convention and ratified by the States.
