Joseph Story

    September 18, 1779 – September 10, 1845

    Joseph Story was a towering figure in American law, a justice who profoundly shaped its development, particularly concerning property rights. He articulated a conservative legal philosophy, often standing against prevailing popular sentiments, emphasizing the protection of property as essential for the stability of republican governments. His magisterial commentaries on the U.S. Constitution remain a foundational work for understanding the nation's legal framework.
