This volume presents the remarks of Mr. Justice Stephen J. Field before the Electoral Commission on February 7, 1877, concerning the contested election results in Florida during the 1876 Presidential election. At the heart of one of the most disputed elections in American history, the Florida case was pivotal in determining the outcome. Field's remarks offer a contemporaneous legal perspective on the issues of electoral validity and constitutional procedure during the Reconstruction Era. As a Supreme Court Justice, his insights provide invaluable context to the debates surrounding the election and the role of the Electoral Commission in resolving the crisis. "Remarks of Mr. Justice Field in the Electoral Commission on the Florida Case" offers a crucial primary source for understanding this tumultuous period in American political history.
