Court Marshall
• Before Adams left he appointed as many federal Judges to the federal courts to keep federalists in a role of power
• Since Justices were appointed for life, Jefferson was powerless to change them
• Adams also appointed John Marshall as chief justice where he would serve for over 3 decades
Bury Bury Mad
• Chief Justice Marshall would preside over the Case of Marbury v. Madison(1803)
• When James Madison Refused to Appoint William Marbury Justice of the Peace Marbury Sued
• Marbury’s Appointment Violated the Law of the Constitution and the Decision was upheld
Marshall LawMarbury v. Madison set up Judicial
Review giving the Supreme Court final say on constitutional matters
Marshall seized new powers for the supreme court, but since it was used to the Democratic Republican’s benefit, Jefferson could not fight it
This decision would set up a lasting Checks and Balances system still in effect today
