John Marshall: The Final Founder

byRobert Strauss

Eighteenth- and 19th-century contemporaries believed Marshall to be, if not the equal of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, at least very close to that pantheon. John Marshall combines biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of biography & autobiography and history, John Marshall explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the final founder emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
