9. McCulloch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat 316 (1819). This case is also the genesis of Harlan Stone's famous footnote 4 in U. S. v. Carolene Products, 304 US 144 (1938) as Wechsler notes.
10. See Choper's argument for cabining judicial review largely to civil liberties. Judicial Review and the National Political Process (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1980). In my view, the work underestimates the balancing effect of normally dormant powers, strategically employed as a gyroscopic device that runs throughout American constitutionalism.
