The opening of the book sets the stage by emphasizing the judiciary’s crucial role in maintaining order and justice in government. Baldwin discusses the origins of the American judiciary, tracing the influence of English law on the early colonies and outlining how colonial charters incorporated aspects of English law. He delves into the complexities of governance in the colonies, where the distinctions between legislative and judicial powers were often blurred.
