Why was this important to the Federalists?

9. The Judiciary Act of 1801
Jefferson attacks Judiciary Act of 1801 by getting Congress to repeal the act.
Most important event dealing with the Judiciary Act of 1801 was the appointment of William Marbury leading to the Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison.

10. Marbury v. Madison
CASE
William Marbury, a “midnight appointment” was promised a justice of the peace appointment under the Judiciary Act of 1801.
Jefferson, after getting the Judiciary Act of 1801 repealed, refused to give the appointment to Marbury.
Marbury appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court to force James Madison, responsible for handing out new commissions, to issue a writ of mandamus (court order) . This writ was authorized under the Judiciary Act of 1789.

11. Decision
Marbury should be entitled to the commission but he should not have appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court does not have the power to force Madison to hand over the commission.
That section of the Judiciary Act of 1789, which Marbury believed gave the power of the Supreme Court to issue the writ to Madison to force him to hand over the commission was unconstitutional. Marbury should have went to a lower court to acquire the writ and the commission.

12. IMPACT
The case establishes judicial review?
Marbury
Madison

Need port of New Orleans for western farmers.
Able to buy the entire territory for $15 million!

16. The Louisiana Purchase (1803)
