Title: 1802 Federalist Newspaper Supreme Court Thomas Jefferson

Additional Information: The February 6, 1802 issue of the Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist., four pages complete printed at Boston by Benjamin Russell. Front page starts with act signed in script type by Thomas Jefferson as President and proceedings of the Senate including on political battle to repeal the Judiciary Act of 1801, a move by the Jeffersonian Republican majority to dismantle the "midnight judgeships" created by the outgoing Federalist administration. The debate focuses on whether Congress had the constitutional authority to abolish these lower courts and remove life-tenured judges, with Federalists arguing for judicial independence and Republicans countering that the expanded court system was an unnecessary, expensive Federalist stronghold. Ultimately, this period led to the restructuring of the federal court system and the temporary suspension of the Supreme Courts 1802 terms to prevent Chief Justice John Marshall from intervening in the repeal. Interesting ads and notices some with illustrations of ships. Very Good, mild wear and minor repair to outside margin.
