    FACTS: In 1801 President John Adams in his last few weeks of Presidency appointed John Marshall as third chief justice of the United States to replace Oliver Ellsworth whom had resigned. The Senate confirmed Marshall but he also continued as secretary of state. Because of the Organic Act passed by the Federalist Congress, Adams had to appoint 42 justices of the peace for the District of Columbia. Within the election confusion Marshall who was the outgoing secretary of state, failed to deliver some of these commissions. James Madison , the new secretary of state abided by Jefferson’s orders and refused to deliver at least five commissions. Because of this William Marbury and three others were denied their commissions and went directly to the Supreme Court and asked to have issued a writ of mandamus which ordered Madison to deliver the commissions. Marshall had been a supporter of the Federalist party and wanted to avoid confrontation between the Jefferson Administration and the Supreme Court.…

    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. Chief Justice Marshall stated that the Judiciary Act of 1789, which was the basis for Marbury's claim, conflicted with Article III of the Constitution. Marbury did not receive 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.…

    There were significance of the Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison. The Marbury v. Madison case created the judicial review. In the judicial review, Chief Justice John Marshall extended the power of the Supreme Court. He set out three principles. The first principle was that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The second principle was when a conflict emerges between the Constitution and any other law the Constitution must be followed. The final principle was that the Judicial branch has a duty to approve the Constitution. The powers of judicial review served as an important check on the legislative (law making) branch. The courts must be able to cancel any unconstitutional laws. The Marbury v. Madison case started when John Adams…

    The factors that lead up to the case of Marbury v. Madison are the president that was leaving the office, John Adams, had issued a commission as justice of the peace. What happened was that the new Secretary of State, James Madison, had refused to deliver it. Marbury then sued in order to obtain his commission. The decision that was made by the Supreme Court was that a law that was passed by Congress and signed by the president was declared unconstitutional. There was nothing written in the Constitution that specific power to do that. Chief Justice Marshall believed that the Supreme Court should have an equal role just like the other two branches of government. The future case that was impacted by this case was the Martin…

    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.…

    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.…

    His tenor in the court lasted from 1801 to shortly before his death in 1835 and was responsible, largely, for how the Supreme Court functions and its role as the guardian of the Constitution. There were several factors of Marshall’s leadership that helped gain the strength of the judicial branch including seeking out advice from Associate Judges and his ability to accept and encourage the ideas of newcomers but the solidification of the Courts responsibility of judicial review along with Chief Justice Marshall’s concept of unitary opinions helped to develop the overall strength and importance of the Supreme Court. (Johnson, 1998, p. 7) Marbury v. Madison was the landmark decision that reinforced their…

    Jeffersonian Republicans

    Thomas Jefferson and his Republican followers envisioned a society in vivid contrast to that of the Federalists. They dreamed of a nation of independent farmers living under a central government that exercised a minimum of control over their lives and served merely to protect the individual liberties granted by the Constitution. Jefferson, in his dialog with Presbyterian minister Samuel Miller, demonstrated that the government will only be ruled by the Constitution, and not even God would have a say. (Document B) That vision proved to be a mirage, and Jefferson was to preside over a nation that was growing more industrial and urban, which seemed to need an ever-stronger hand at the presidential “tiller.”…
