Marbury v Madison was a landmark 1803 Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review. William Marbury sued Secretary of State James Madison after not receiving his judicial commission from President Adams. Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that while Marbury had a right to his commission, the Supreme Court did not have the power to force Madison to deliver it under the Judiciary Act of 1789, as that section of the act unconstitutionally expanded the Court's original jurisdiction. However, the ruling established that the Supreme Court has the authority to review the constitutionality of laws and invalidate those deemed unconstitutional, increasing the Court's power.
Marbury vs. Madison established the Supreme Court's power of judicial review. It arose from William Marbury suing Secretary of State James Madison to deliver his commission as a justice of the peace appointed by outgoing President John Adams. While Chief Justice John Marshall ruled Marbury had a right to the commission, the court lacked authority under the Judiciary Act to force Madison. However, Marshall established the court could declare legislative acts unconstitutional, asserting its authority over the other branches.
Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review in the United States. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and that the Supreme Court has the power to strike down laws that are incompatible with the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's role in determining the constitutionality of laws and enhanced the judiciary's independence from the other branches of government.
The federal court system is established by Article III of the Constitution. The federal courts have jurisdiction over cases involving the Constitution, federal law, disputes between states or citizens of different states, and disputes involving foreign governments. The lower federal courts include district courts and courts of appeals. District courts handle most cases and have original jurisdiction, while courts of appeals only hear appeals from lower courts. The highest court is the Supreme Court, which has the power of judicial review to determine the constitutionality of laws and final authority on interpreting the Constitution.

Allan Bakke, a white male, sued the University of California Davis Medical School after being rejected twice despite having strong academic qualifications, alleging that the school's affirmative action policy discriminated against him on the basis of his race. The Supreme Court ruled that while promoting diversity is a compelling government interest, the medical school's quota system was not narrowly tailored enough to achieve that goal and violated Bakke's rights under the Equal Protection clause.

In this forum please examine the Supreme Court's use of judicial review. One reason the Supreme Court is unique is the practice of judicial review. Judicial review is the power of a court to decide the constitutionality of laws or of the acts of a government official. In other words, the Court’s power of “judicial review” refers to its authority to review laws and executive action and strike them down when it deems them unconstitutional. This power insures that the Court is well positioned to protect individual rights and to apply the Constitution to new situations as they arise.
In 1803,
Marbury v. Madison
made clear this power of judicial review. Please be sure to review the lesson for week 2 where you will see a thorough outline of
Marbury v. Madison
and more explanation of judicial review.
In the decision, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that it was the duty of the Supreme Court to strike down unconstitutional laws. Ironically, the practice of judicial review is not outlined in the Constitution, but the Court is expected to assume this role.
Hamilton argued that judicial review made sure that the people, through the Constitution, would have power over legislatures. Madison argued that independent judges would be more appropriate arbiters of the Constitution than the chaos and factionalism of the political process.
Do you think it is a problem for the Court to have such an immense power even though it is not specifically granted to them in the Constitution? If the origins of judicial review are not found in the Constitution, what grants the Court this power? Did the framers intend the Supreme Court to possess the power of judicial review?
How has the Court done with this role of exercising judicial review? Please choose one of these three recent cases cases involving judicial review. Review the summary of the case at the link below and discuss in your initial forum post how the Court exercised judicial review specifically in this case and if you believe it was a proper execution of this power.

In Marbury v. Madison (1803), the Supreme Court established the principle of judicial review by ruling that a section of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional. This allowed the Court to determine the constitutionality of laws and assert its role as an equal branch of government. In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the Court upheld the constitutionality of the national bank and established Congress's implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause, expanding federal power. In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the Court endorsed the doctrine of "separate but equal" and allowed states to require racial segregation as long as facilities were equal, legalizing racial discrimination for over 50 years.
Judicial review allows individuals to challenge exercises of power by public bodies in UK constitutional law. A person who believes a decision was unlawful can ask the High Court to review whether the decision followed the law. The US Supreme Court established the doctrine of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison (1803) by declaring an act of Congress unconstitutional for the first time. Judicial review gives courts the power to declare laws unconstitutional, which is an important contribution of the US to political science, although it may infringe on separation of powers by affecting the functioning of representative government.
New justice positions were created before President Adams left office. He appointed justices with a federal ideology, but the appointments were never fully approved by Congress. One appointee, William Marbury, sued after being denied his position. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court ruled that while Marbury had a right to his appointment, the court could not force its issuance due to limits on its jurisdiction set by the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.
The six basic principles of government are:
1. Popular sovereignty - power comes from the people, who establish government and give it consent to govern.
2. Voting and participation - the people exercise power through democracy by voting and running for elected office.
3. Limited government - the government has only the authority granted by the people and is subject to the constitution.
4. Separation of powers - government power is divided among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
5. Checks and balances - each branch has authority over the others to prevent tyranny by one branch.
6. Federalism - power is shared between central and local governments to ensure effectiveness while protecting states and citizens.

The Marbury v. Madison case established the Supreme Court's power of judicial review. It involved William Marbury, who was appointed to be a judge late in John Adams' presidency but did not receive his commission before Thomas Jefferson took office. Jefferson's Secretary of State, James Madison, refused to deliver Marbury's commission at Jefferson's instruction. The Supreme Court ruled that while Marbury was entitled to his commission, the court did not have the power to force Madison to deliver it because part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that gave the court this authority was unconstitutional, establishing the Supreme Court's ability to declare laws unconstitutional. This established judicial review, which is the power of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution and determine whether

Powers of the Supreme Court
There are a number of Supreme Court cases that have significantly impacted law and public policy. As you progress through the course, you will review many of these cases. For this Discussion, you are asked to consider the significance of the
Marbury v. Madison
case.
In the presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson defeated the incumbent president, John Adams, a Federalist. Before John Adams left office, he appointed judges and justices of the peace for the District of Columbia who also were Federalists. All of the appointments for the new judges and justices of the peace were approved in a mass Senate hearing. However, four of the justices of the peace did not receive their commissions before John Adams’ presidency was over. One of these justices of the peace, William Marbury, petitioned the Supreme Court to force James Madison, the new Secretary of State under Jefferson, to deliver his commission. Marbury cited the Judiciary Act of 1789 which gave the Supreme Court the power to take such an action. In the end, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court declared that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and then denied Marbury’s petition.
This decision was the first time in history that the Supreme Court deemed a legislative act to be unconstitutional. As a direct result of the case, the concept of judicial review was established and the checks and balances of the U.S. Government were further defined.
2-a brief explanation of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making. Then describe two strengths and two limitations of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making.
Role of the Supreme Court in Policy Making
While the U.S. Supreme Court is extremely powerful, theoretically, it is not able to create law or public policy in the way that Congress or the President does. However, the Supreme Court is able to review public policies or laws that are disputed and determine their constitutionality. Supreme Court justices must determine which cases or disputes to hear and then determine if the laws or policies in such cases are constitutional. If they rule that the laws or policies are unconstitutional, they make recommendations about how the laws or policies should be changed or adapted. In this way, the Supreme Court engages in policy making.
To prepare for this Discussion:

Landmark Supreme Court Cases: The Most Influential Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Conside.
Marbury v. Madison was a 1803 Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review, granting the Court the power to invalidate legislative acts found to be unconstitutional. The case arose when William Marbury sued Secretary of State James Madison to deliver his official judicial commission documents. While the Court found Marbury was entitled to the documents, it ruled the provision of law allowing Marbury to directly petition the Supreme Court was unconstitutional, establishing the Court's ability to determine the constitutionality of laws.
The document discusses the structure of the American legal system. It outlines the three branches of government established in Articles I-III of the Constitution, with a focus on Article III and the judicial branch. Key points include the Supreme Court's original lack of power of judicial review until the 1803 Marbury v. Madison decision established this authority. The summary also describes the federal and state court structures, distinguishing between trial and appellate courts.
This document discusses the concepts of judicial restraint and judicial activism. It provides examples of how judicial activism has manifested in important Supreme Court cases in the United States that have advanced civil rights and reinterpreted laws and the constitution.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

2. What is the background of the case: who was
involved, what happened to bring the case to court, where did the case
take place, when did the case take place, what other background information
is important to know about the case?
Before President Jefferson took office, President Adams appointed justices of peace in the District of Columbia
and Alexandria in Virginia. The appointments were confirmed by the Senate on March 3, 1801, the day before
Thomas Jefferson became president. Before the deadline, when Jefferson took office on March 4, the
Secretary of State, James Madison, had to deliver the commissions (formal appointments) to the justices of
peace that President Adams appointed. Without the commission the justices could not start working in their
new jobs. However, when Jefferson took office, some of the justices did not receive their appointments. One of
them, William Marbury, then brought a law suit against James Madison. He filed an original action in the
Supreme Court under Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 and wanted a writ of mandamus to compel
Madison to deliver his formal appointment. But since President Jefferson did not think that the Court could
force him to deliver the commissions, the Secretary of State, Madison, refused to appear before the Court.
Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Marshall, a President Adams’ appointee, saw this case as an opportunity
to establish a legal president. The Supreme Court found that Marbury had the right to receive his commission/
formal appointment and noted that the wrong that was done to him should be made right. However, the Court
declared the Constitution the Supreme law of the land and due to the fact that Section 13 of the Judiciary Act
of 1789 violated Section III of the Constitution, the Supreme Court ruled that they did not have to power to
order Madison to give Marbury his commission. However, they ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 did give the
Supreme Court the power of judicial review. This gave the Court the power to invalidate Acts of the executive
and legislative branches which they found unconstitutional.
3. Why was this case important? What Constitutional
issues were questioned in this case?
This case was important, because increased the power of the Supreme Court through
judicial review. Chief Justice John Marshall used this case to define the power of the
Supreme Court. Although the Court limited its power in this case by not issuing a writ of
Mandamus under Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the Court gave itself much
more power through the process of judicial review. In the specific case the court had to
decide whether they could order the Secretary of State to give a commission to
Marbury. The Court ruled that Marbury had a right to his commission and a legal
remedy for the wrong that was done to him. However, since Marbury brought his action
under Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 which the Court found to be in conflict
with the Constitution, the Court ruled that it did not have the power to order the
Secretary of State to issue Marbury his commission. The Court made the important
ruling that a law that is in conflict with the Constitution is invalid. The Supreme Court
established that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and this gave the Court
the power to review Acts by the other to branches to determine whether they are
Constitutional.
4. What were other cases related to this case (either before or
after) that were affected?
Marbury v. Madison influenced the Court’s decisions in Brown v. Board of
Education and Bush v. Gore. In Brown v. Board of Education the Supreme
Court exercised its power of judicial review. The Court declared that racial
segregation in public schools were in conflict with the fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution. Therefore the Supreme Court declared
the law of the state government which allowed segregation in public
schools based on race, unconstitutional. In Bush v. Gore the Supreme
Court again used its power of judicial review. The Court ruled that the
manual recounts of ballots were unconstitutional and thereby reversed the
judgement of the Supreme Court of Florida. The Court’s power to review
Acts passed by the executive branch and Congress continue to have a
huge impact on controversial issues today.
5. Who wrote the important opinions (both Dissenting
and Majority), and what important Constitutional
points came from these?
In the case Marbury v Madison, chief justice, Marshall delivered and wrote the opinion of this unanimous decision. The Court
found that there were three requirements that had to be met before a justice of peace could officially start working in this
position. First he had to be nominated by the president, then appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the
senate and then a commission had to be granted and delivered to the appointee. The Court examined the evidence that
Marbury was nominated by the president, confirmed by the Senate and that the commission was signed by the president and
sealed. It ruled that the delivery of the commission did not impinge on Marbury’s rights and therefore Marbury had a right to his
commission and a legal remedy for the wrong that was done to him. However, Marbury brought his action under Section 13 of
the Judiciary Act of 1789 which the Court found to be in conflict with the Constitution. Since the Constitution is the supreme law
of the country, a law in conflict with the Constitution is invalid. Under article III of the Constitution, the Supreme Court has original
jurisdiction over political disputes that affect ambassadors or in which one of the 50 states is a party. Since Marbury was neither
an ambassador nor a State Government, he could not bring an original action in the Supreme Court under Section 13 of the
Judiciary Act. Chief Justice Marshall also noted that if the Court allowed this action, it would unjustly enlarge the Supreme
Court’s original jurisdiction in violation of the Constitution. Therefore the Supreme Court did not have the power to order the
Secretary of State to issue Marbury his commission. The Court then explored whether they could overturn unconstitutional laws.
Marshall argued that members of the legislative and executive branches could not objectively evaluate whether their passed
legislation are constitutional, but that it was the historical role of the courts to interpret and apply the law. Consequently, the
Supreme Court ruled that it has the authority to interpret the Constitution and review executive actions and legislative acts.
Therefore with this decision in Marbury v Madison, the Supreme Court acquired the power of judicial review which gave the
Court the power to nullify acts of the executive and legislative branches that it found to be unconstitutional. Judicial review is an
important part of checks and balances within the federal government. It gives the Supreme Court (judicial branch) equal (and
sometimes even more) power than the legislative and executive branches.
6. What has been the lasting effect of this
case on American jurisprudence?
The lasting effect of this case is undeniable. Marbury v Madison
defined the role of the Court. It ruled that the Constitution is the
Supreme law of the land and introduced the doctrine of judicial
review. With Judicial review the Supreme Court has the final
authority to decide Constitutional questions and interpret the
Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States has the
power and authority to decide whether the Acts of the executive
and legislative branches are constitutional and therefore valid.
The Court has become an equal partner in government with the
power to declare acts of Congress and the president
unconstitutional and consequently invalid.
7. After reviewing the case, what is your opinion of the verdict?
What evidence have you based this opinion on?
The Case of Marbury v Madison, gave the Supreme Court the power of judicial review which has positive and negative
implications. The Supreme Court with its nine judges hears cases that relate to the Constitution. They have to determine the
Constitutionality of the acts of the legislative and executive branches in other words they have to interpret the laws according to
the Constitution. They became the final authority to check that the other two branches of government act according to the
Constitution. In effect the actions of the other two branches are now subject to review by the Court and if the Court interprets that
it believes it is not in line with the Constitution the Court can declare the actions invalid. The positive effect of this case is that the
Supreme Court of the United States acts as a “check and balances” system for the other two branches of the US government to
ensure that the other two branches and states do not make laws or take actions that is unconstitutional. For instance in Brown v.
Board of Education the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools were in conflict with the fourteenth
Amendment. In this case the Supreme Court’s judicial review of the case stabilized and supported American democracy.
However, there is a negative side to giving too much power to the Supreme Court. The Founding Fathers specifically gave the
legislative power to Congress, because Congress members are elected by the people to represent them. The American people
have a say in who is representing them and if the Congress members act in a way that is against the will of the American people
the people would replace them in the next election. In contrast, the Supreme Court Justices are appointed positions. (nominated
by the president and ratified by the senate) Therefore these nine judges are not directly elected by the people and are lifelong
appointments with no “check and balance” system to hold them accountable for their decisions. The power of the Supreme
Court was already recognized by Franklin D. Roosevelt that wanted to “pack the Court” when the judges was declaring some of
his New Deal programs unconstitutional. The importance of controlling the Court is still evident today as Republicans and
Democrats will vote for a president that promises he will appoint Supreme Court judges that represent their viewpoints. If personal
political views are so prevalent and important when appointing judges, it is difficult to trust that the judges will somehow upon
appointment impartially and without prejudice “interpret” the Constitution.
