It demonstrates the varieties and continuities of America's approaches to international law. The book begins with the important role the law of nations played for founders like Jefferson and Madison in framing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It then discusses the intellectual contributions to international law made by leaders in the New Republic -Kent and Wheaton- and the place of international law in the 19th century judgments of Marshall, Story, and Taney. The book goes on to examine the contributions of American utopians -Dodge, Worcester, Ladd, Burritt, and Carnegie- to the establishment of the League of Nations, the World Court, the International Law Association and the American Society of International Law. It finishes with an analysis of the wavering support to international law given by Woodrow Wilson and the emergence of a new American isolationism following the disappointment of World War I. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor anyone who hopes to understand the important place of international law in America and the complex role of America in the development of international law, \u003cem\u003eAmerica and the Law of Nations 1776-1939\u003c\/em\u003e is a crucial read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Weston Janis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199579342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199579341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Mark Weston Janis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054721495295,"sku":"9780199579341","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32971e7f-7dbd-47e5-b4ce-a88984c5a149.jpg?v=1685031605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/america-and-the-law-of-mark-weston-janis-9780199579341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
