7 Marbury versus Madison-Supreme Court decision=Judicial Review
Adams appointed a last minute justice-Marbury Sec. of State Madison refuses to put in. Goes to the Supreme Court “If the Supreme Court decides that a law is unConstitutional is cannot be put into effect. In a unanimous decision, written by Justice Marshall, the Court stated that Marbury, indeed, had a right to his commission. But, more importantly, the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional. In Marshall's opinion, Congress could not give the Supreme Court the power to issue an order granting Marbury his commission. Only the Constitution could, and the document said nothing about the Supreme Court having the power to issue such an order. Thus, the Supreme Court could not force Jefferson and Madison to appoint Marbury, because it did not have the power to do so.
