Major Historical Acts of Congress

As the folks in Washington, D.C. continue to debate about the possibility of Health Care Reform legislation, remember to take a look back on the Acts of Congress that have helped shape America. In his book, The Laws that Shaped America: Fifteen Acts of Congress and Their Lasting Impact, Dennis W. Johnson explores the lasting importance of legislation like the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and the Interstate Highway Act of 1956. If you're interested in learning more, the book is available right here in the Moritz Law Library.
