Detailed explanation-1: -Salmon Portland Chase (January 13, 1808 – May 7, 1873) was an American politician and jurist who served as the sixth chief justice of the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1796, President George Washington appointed Chase as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Chase’s most notable decision was in Calder v. Bull (1798), a case defining four important points of constitutional law.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: No. Chase was a common last name. To a certain extent, the fact that both men were part of the Supreme Court, albeit half a century apart, probably contributes to the question, combined with their last name, of whether there was any relation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Samuel Chase, (born April 17, 1741, Princess Anne, Md. [U.S.]-died June 19, 1811, Washington, D.C., U.S.), associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, whose acquittal in an impeachment trial (1805) inspired by Pres. Thomas Jefferson for political reasons strengthened the independence of the judiciary.
