1)Nation versus State - during the first and least active era, the unresolved jurisdictional boundaries between the national and state governments were at the heart of the judiciary's most significant cases. (See McCulloch v. Maryland and Dred Scott v. Sandford)
2)Regulating the National Economy - the major issue during this era (Civil War to 1930s) was the government's regulation of the economy. [The primacy of property rights, Court-packing plan]
3)The Rise of Civil Rights and Liberties - during this period (1940s on), the Court's main object of concern was the relationship between the individual and the government. Before winning victories in Congress, civil rights proponents found a Supreme Court willing to support their cause.
