11. MARSHALL'S DECISIONS • Marbury vs. Madison, 1803 • Case: William Marbury, a Federalist and a “midnight appointment” of President Adams, did not receive his commission from Sec. of State, James Madison. Marbury asked the SC to issue a “writ of mandamus” forcing Madison to deliver his commission. • Decision/Reason: Marshall dismissed suit, but in doing so struck down part of Judiciary Act of 1789 because SC had no authority to give Marbury his commission. • Significance: Established precedent of “judicial review”and the Supreme Court, not states had power to declare laws of Congress unconstitutional.

MARBURY VS MADISON • Prior to this case, the Supreme Court had been the weakest of the three branches of government. • Earlier, the belief was the states could nullify a law • 1803, the Supreme Court established its role as the final arbitrator (authority) of the meaning of the Constitution and its position of equality. • By setting a precedent for judicial reviewor the Supreme Court can declare a law unconstitutional not the states or Congress. • It also “sent the message” that the National Government is the last authority thus reinforcing Marshall’s belief in a strong central government over the states.

16. MARSHALL'S DECISIONS • Cohens v. Virginia(1821) • Case: In VA, the Cohens were convicted of selling Washington, D.C. lottery tickets authorized by Congress • Decision/Reason: Marshall and the Court upheld the conviction.

17. MARSHALL'S DECISIONS • Gibbons v. Ogden(1821) • Case: NY state granted a monopoly to a steamboat company that conflicted with a charter authorized by Congress • Decision/Reason: Marshall ruled NY monopoly was unconstitutional, establishing the federal govt’s broad control of interstate commerce.
