So Justices Kent, Story, and the others struggled to create an American law capable of thwarting the course of empire, a system which could both fix and hold the American identity. "The Marshall court and Taney court", writes Miller, "thus kept their purpose fixed upon the idea of restriction, because, perhaps, if nothing were permitted, no violence would result."
