The Operation of Constitutionalism in Early America in the View of the Olmstead Case
The Olmsted case began during the American Revolution and lasted for more than 30 years.The case showed that the Supreme Court was only one of the players in the constitutional arena,its authority was fairly limited,and it could not unilaterally decide the final constitutional question.There were also certain constitutional reasons for states to participate in the resolution of constitutional disputes on their own,and refuse to recognize the Supreme Court's decisions as supreme authority and binding.The Olmsted case provides a novel viewpoint for us to observe the actual operation mechanism of the constitutional system in the early days of the United States.
