Abstract

The article discusses different court cases and related issues in the United States. It discusses the case of Morgan v. United States related to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). During the fall of 1937 differences of opinion concerning the proper disposition of U.S. Senator George Berry's damage claims against the TVA led to the first major public outburst of the antagonism which had long been festering within the TVA board. The TVA Act 18 provides that the directors shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, but contains no provision which deals with the President's general power of removal. The familiar cry for a more speedy adjudication of constitutional issues free from technical barriers has been renewed and revitalized as social legislation in recent times has made constitutional litigation increasingly important.
