Americana Selections - Article III. Justice
~ The Constitution of the United States

time to time ordain and establish...." Article III. Section. I.
Article III establishes the judicial powers of the United States, terms of office, compensation, and jurisdictions. It defines treason, its
terms of conviction and punishment, and guarantees trial by jury. Susan hand-lettered the text over a drawing of the scales of justice.

Blackston, John Marshall, (lower arc) John Rutledge, Thurgood Marshall, Sandra Day O'Connor, John Jay, (left arc), James Wilson, Louis
Dembitz Brandeis, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Wm. Strong, (right arc), John Blair, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Felix Frankfurter, Samuel Chase.
Carrying over the colors of black, brown, red, white, and blue and the themes established in "The Preamble," she outlined the words,

architrave above the west and east porticos, "Equal Justice Under Law" and "Justice the Guardian of Liberty."
