Chase, Waite and Fuller Courts

The Chase, Waite and Fuller Courts gather the justices who served under three successive Chief Justices, Salmon Chase, Morrison Waite and Melville Fuller, spanning 1864 to 1910. This long era interpreted the new Reconstruction Amendments narrowly in cases such as the Slaughter-House Cases and Plessy v. Ferguson, upheld industrial-age economic regulation unevenly, and shaped the doctrine of substantive due process that would dominate the Court's next three decades.
