  13. FEDERALIST Judicial Review SUPREME COURT Marbury v. Madison Jeff.Republicans Nullification Theory STATES Virginia & Kentucky Resolutions Who Decides Constitutional or Unconstitutional? CIVIL WAR DECIDES

  14. Definition: First decision by the Supreme Court to declare a law unconstitutional (1803). At the very end of his term, President John Adams had made many federal appointments, including William Marbury as justice of the peace in D. C. Thomas Jefferson, the new president, refused to recognize the appointment of Marbury. The normal practice of making such appointments was to deliver a "commission," or notice, of appointment. This was normally done by the Secretary of State. Jefferson's Secretary of State at the time was James Madison. At the direction of Jefferson, Madison refused to deliver Marbury's commission. Marbury sued Madison, and the Supreme Court took the case. Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that the Judiciary Act of 1789, which spelled out the practice of delivering such commissions for judges and justices of the peace, was unconstitutional because it the gave the Supreme Court authority that was denied it by Article III of the Constitution. Thus, the Supreme Court said, the Judiciary Act of 1789 was illegal and not to be followed. This was the first time the Supreme Court struck down a law because it was unconstitutional. It was the beginning of the practice of "judicial review." • John Marshall (Federalist) • Chief Justice of Supreme Court • EXPANDS the power of Federal Gov’t • Jefferson (R)- Adams (F) Election (1800) -Power is transferred w/o Fight (2nd Test) • Judiciary Act of 1801 - case of the “Midnight Judges” 1803 - Marbury v.
