Marbury v. Madison (1803)YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ALL THIS, IT JUST HELPS
SET THE STAGE FOR THE SIGNIFICANCEWilliam Marbury brought his case directly to the Supreme Court
because the Court had original
jurisdiction over the case. He asked the Court to issue a writ of mandamus*
to order James Madison to deliver his commission.
*An order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion.
• Supreme Court of the United States • The Supreme Court of the United States
declared that:• Marbury is entitled to the commission,
but: • The Court cannot issue the writ because
the Judiciary Act of 1789, which granted the Supreme Court original jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus, is unconstitutional.
• The Supreme Court of the United States has the power to review acts of other branches and determine their constitutionality. This power is called judicial review.
