In the post-Civil War era, three writers (Thomas M. Cooley,Christopher G. Tiedeman, and John F. Dillon) can be con-sidered to be responsible for the popularity of two legalprinciples related to a laissez faire interpretation of theConstitution that were valuable to industrialists of theera: the liberty of contract principle as a limitation onpolice power of the states, and the public purposelimitation on state and federal tax power. To support hisanalysis of the writings of these authors, Jacobs examinesrelevant federal and state cases.Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.Distributed by William S. Hein & Co., Inc.
