註釋American history abounds with the ideals of liberty, justice and equality. While to the framers of the constitution it was inherently clear that these were the goals of the new government, it has been the judiciary that has since shaped these guarantees.
Many of the pivotal court cases since 1789 (including the June 1992 Pennsylvania abortion decision) dealing with liberty, justice and equality are examined. The focus is on the evolution of these ideals before the Supreme Court, the written opinions, and the people involved--judges and petitioners.
