Assignment Description

Why was Marbury v. Madison arguably the most significant case in Supreme Court history? Review with your parent the significance of judicial review and legal precedent. What "game" did Judge Marshall win? Was Marbury's loss in the case more significant than Marshall's long term "win"? What significant role did the Judiciary Act of 1789 play in Marbury v Madison? Was Marbury's reliance on this 1789 legislation to demand a writ of mandamus too risky? What could he have done differently to secure his commission from Madison?
