Chapter

Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to Thurgood Marshall’s career and rise to the Court, the notion of Majoritarianism, and the work, itself, as a whole. Tsosie’s view and definition of Majoritarianism is used to provide a contrast that allows Marshall’s philosophy to be drawn in sharp detail.
