Marbury+v.+Madison

Marbury v. Madison By: Ryan and Alyssa

The case Began March 2, 1803. President Adams was given the opportunity to appoint 42 justices of the peace. Senate approved all 42 justices. James Madison has to deliver the job commissions. He delivers all but four. New President Thomas Jefferson stopped delivery on the last four justices. Marbury takes the issue to court. Chief Justice of the time John Marshall said Marbury’s rights were violated, but the judicial Branch cannot force the executive branch to deliver the commission. End result: Court now has the power of Judicial Review. media type="custom" key="3546008"
