Democracy appeals from Supreme Court to the people
A historical discussion argues that the people, not courts, must correct constitutional errors and that the Sedition Act and Dred Scott rulings show the necessity of popular appeal. It recalls Jeffersonian skepticism, reviews past debates, and notes 19th century calls to overturn court decisions through public action. Also reports a poisoning incident in St Louis and local religious revival notes and civic meetings.
