Roosevelt on due process and popular control over law
Roosevelt argues for letting the people vote on police power cases when state courts strike down general welfare laws. He rejects court supremacy and warns against elite dominance, urging direct democracy to safeguard social justice, workers’ rights, and public welfare. He cites Holmes and Ives, contrasts Taft, and defends the recall concept as a tool for accountability.
