By Sidney George Fisher

Book Overview

The Trial of the Constitution, published in 1862, is a book written by Sidney George Fisher. The book explores the history of the United States Constitution and its interpretation by the Supreme Court during the Civil War. Fisher argues that the Constitution was put to the ultimate test during the conflict, and that its interpretation by the Supreme Court was crucial to the outcome of the war.
