Excerpt from Lectures on the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: Delivered Before the Dwight Alumni Association, New York, April-May, 1898
The discussion in the lectures and the references in the notes have been confined almost exclusively to cases de cided by the Supreme Court of the United States, the tribunal where all questions of individual liberty and property rights are now finally determined. There are many important cases in the state courts and in the lower federal courts which should be consulted by all students; but I have referred to only a few of these.
I have also thought it useful to annotate the whole Constitution. For this purpose, the search has been at the original source, and every volume of the Supreme Court reports has been examined. In this research and the preparation of the analytical index, I have been assisted by Mr. Theodore S. Beecher.
