The book contains Frankfurter’s contribution to the Weil lectures on American citizenship, ‘a clear exposition of the various interpretations of the commerce clause - the power conferred upon Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states - under three great chief justices’ (jacket blurb). A Harvard professor of law from 1914 to 1939, Frankfurter was ‘a strong advocate of civil liberties but favoured judicial self-restraint and non-intervention by the court in political issues’ (Walker, Oxford Companion to Law, p. 488).
