Interpret this… Shortly before President John Adams left office as President, he appointed William Marbury as a judge to the supreme court.

The new president, Thomas Jefferson, told his Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver the commission papers to Mr. Marbury. Mr. Marbury sued for a write of mandamus, a court order that requires a specific act or dutry be carried out. Mr. Marbury requested that the Supreme Court order the delivery of his papers. The Judiciary Act of 1789 gave the Supreme Court, among other things, the power to issue writs of mandamus to federal government officials.

The Judiciary Act of 1789 gave the Supreme Court, among other things, the power to issue writs of mandamus to federal government officials. In an important decision, the Supreme Court held that the Judiciary Act was unconstitutional because nowhere in the US Constitution was the Supreme Court given the power to order a federal official to do something. This holding established judicial review, or power to determine the constitutionality of US statutes.
