The Impact of John Marshall’s Supreme Court His major court cases and the role they had to strengthen their Federal Power.

Let’s Connect the Dots… Under the Constitution, 3 Branches of Government were created. The primary job of the Judicial Branch is to interpret the laws. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, would have three major court cases that would have a profound impact on the power of the National Government.

Marbury vs. Madison When President John Adams lost his re- election to Thomas Jefferson, he began appointing Federalists to Judges, including William Marbury. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison did not agree with this since Jefferson had already been elected, so he stopped the distribution of those judge papers. Marbury took the case to the Supreme Court to convince the Court to force them to deliver the papers so that he could have his job. He cited the Judiciary Act of 1789.

Marbury vs. Madison, continued The Supreme Court ruled that the court did not have the right to force the paperwork, even though Marbury had a right to the job. The Judiciary Act of 1789 was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Created Judicial Review for the Supreme Court which gives the Supreme Court the right to determine the constitutionality of laws and actions passed by the government.

McCulloch vs. Maryland The National Bank had been created by Alexander Hamilton and George Washington as a way to control and manage the governments money and debts.

Maryland placed a tax on any bank not drafted by the state itself. John Marshall and the Supreme Court ruled that Maryland had no power to tax a Federal Government institution. Supremacy Clause: the National Government was the absolute power over the nation. supported Implied Powers (Loose Interpretation).

Gibbons vs. Ogden There was some major issues dealing with interstate trade. Under the former Articles the states controlled trade, while under the Constitution, the Federal Government controlled trade. State of New York was preventing a trader named Gibbons from using the rivers to trade when he had been given permission by the National Government. John Marshall and the Supreme Court ruled that the use of Rivers and Roads promoted Interstate Trade and thus belong to the control of the Federal Government.
