This Jeshurun of a pawnbroker was not a symbol of the great Jewish tragedy; and yet was there not something typical in the fact that a life like Mordecai's a frail incorporation of the national consciousness, breathing with difficult breath was nested in the self-gratulating ignorant prosperity of the Cohens?

And this brings me to the consideration of American courts as legislative chambers. Federalist No. The Federalist, No. The Federalist, No. Cohens v. Virginia, 6 Wheaton 415. To Madison, Ford, 9, 275. Marshall's constitutional doctrine was not universally accepted, even in the courts of the northern states, until long afterward.

By actual count there were nineteen B. Cohens scattered throughout the city, so before commencing to call the nineteen, Bill Peck borrowed the city directory from the hotel clerk and scanned it for the particular B.
