Repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801- The Judiciary Act of 1801, expanded the federal court system and allowed President John Adams to pack the Judicial Branch with members of his Federalist Party was repealed by the new Congress (Repeal Act of March 8, 1802) after Thomas Jefferson succeeded Adams in office. Congress passed a replacement, the Judiciary Act of 1802, on April 29, 1802, in order to rid themselves of the sixteen new Federalist Circuit judges who were appointed to relieve the Supreme Court justices of their Circuit riding responsibilities. In the 1802 Act, the justices were required to resume this practice.
Second Great Awakening 1801-1840- The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant revival movement during the early 19th century in the United States. The movement began around 1780, gained momentum by 1800, and after 1820 membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led the movement. It was past its peak by the 1840s. It has been described as a reaction against skepticism, deism, and rational Christianity, although why those forces became pressing enough at the time to spark revivals is not fully understood. It enrolled millions of new members in existing evangelical denominations and led to the formation of new denominations. Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age. The Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the anticipated Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    Marbury v. Madison:(1803) Judicial review In 1801, Justice William Marbury was to have received a commission from President Adams, but Secretary of State James Madison refused to issue the commission.

This case determined that the Supreme Court and not the states would have the ultimate word on whether an issue was in violation of the Constitution. The ruling, based on judicial review, made the Judicial Branch equal to the other two branches of government.…

    The article Marbury v. Madison and the Establishment of Judicial Autonomy by William E. Nelson, discusses “. . . a balance between two concepts democracy . . . and the rule of law. . .” (Nelson 240). The court case Marbury v. Madison took place in 1803. This court case is famous for the creation of judicial review; “the doctrine allowing courts to hold acts of Congress unconstitutional” (Nelson 240). During the presidency of Adam, sixteen circuit judges were appointed. Adams secretary of state at this time was Marshall, whom could not “deliver the commission for one of the new justices of the peace . . . William Marbury, before the end of President Adams’s term . . .” (248). Marbury v. Madison was started because Thomas Jefferson’s secretary of state James Madison refused to give William Marbury as well as others their commissions. Because of this act by Madison, Marbury as well as others decided to petition for a writ of mandamus for their commissions. According to Cornell Law School, a writ of mandamus is “an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion”. The case of Marbury v Madison led to the Judiciary Act of 1801. This…

    Written by Chief Justice John Marshall, the majority ruled that while Marbury was entitled to receive his commission and that courts are able to grant remedies, the Supreme Court did not have the right to grant the plaintiff his legal order. The reasoning behind this was that Marbury’s request was based on a law passed by Congress that the Court deemed unconstitutional (Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789). The Court then stated that when the Constitution and the law conflict, it is the Supreme Court’s duty to uphold the law of the land and rule in unity with the Constitution.…

    On January of 1803, the case was argued, and Madison brought the case down to three questions. According to the video, the three questions stated, “Has the applicant a right to the commission he commands?” Madison specified, yes because he was suitably appointed, and just because it wasn’t delivered, the commission was prepared. The second question stated, “If he has a right, and that right has been violated, do the laws of this country afford him a remedy?” Madison specified that yes, it was one of the laws of the country, and that Marbury was provided the remedy upon bringing a law suit to receive his commission.…

    Marbury v. Madison (1803) case was the beginning of the corrupt theories of John Marshall. William Marbury had been a “midnight judge” appointed by John Adams in the last hours of being president. Marbury had been named Justice for Peace for the District of Columbia, but when Secretary of State James Madison shelved the position, he sued for its delivery. Chief Justice Marshall knew that his Jeffersonian rivals, deep-rooted in the executive branch, would not attempt to enforce a writ to deliver the commission to Federalist Marbury. He therefore dismissed Marbury’s suit. Despite the dismissal of the case, Marshall snatched a victory from this judicial defeat. In explaining his ruling, Marshall said that part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 on which Marshall tried to base his appeal was unconstitutional. This attempted to assign the Supreme Court power that the Constitution had not anticipated. This act by Marshall attempted the shift of power to the Supreme Courts for his benefit. This greatly magnified the authority of the court.…

    Inaugurated into his presidency in March of 1801, Thomas Jefferson gradually began to stray away from his Democratic-Republican views. Prior to his presidency, Jefferson, along with his Republican followers, practiced ideas including a strict interpretation of the Constitution, a weak central government while obtaining strong state governments, and a separation of powers. When he came to office, he proved to the citizens of the United States that one’s views may easily be swayed when crucial political decisions are needed to be made. Thomas Jefferson contradicted his previous views as a Democratic-Republican by his decisions made through a loose interpretation of the Constitution, his failure to act in the best interest of the majority, and his violation of the separation of powers, proving to the people of the United States that even a highly respected politician can make unethical choices once given the power.…
