Rae ! Judge Marbury wanted his job he just did not get it because Supreme Court could not order to the new President to hire this guy, because separation of powers and even though there was a law that ordered supreme court to decide about it, they considered that law unconstitutional because separation of powers is mandatory by the constitution

It's a little complicated. The court ruled that based on the Constitution, Congress attempted to give the court powers that it shouldn't have. It did not have the power to compel the president to give Marshall his job. The power to rule laws unconstitutional was NOT one of the powers given to the Supreme Court, so by declaring a law unconstitutional anyway, the court was in effect taking the power of judicial review for itself.

@phillipfry9765 3 жыл бұрын

There’s two big takeaways from this case: 1. By ruling that the Judiciary Act gave the Court powers not granted by the Constitution and therefore was unconstitutional, Marshall himself acted outside the scope of the Constitution, because reviewing or interpreting a law (this is what Judicial Review is) was not an express power given to the courts under Article III. Now because of Marbury v. Madison, it is an implied power. 2. The second takeaway is Marshall upholding the Constitution instead of ruling in favor of his Federalist buddies.

@chrisprilloisebola 2 жыл бұрын

Your first point is not entirely true. According to Article 6 of the constitution, legislators and judges must obey the constitution. Marshall pointed out that the legislators violated this

@megamonster1234 11 ай бұрын

I know this post is 2 yrs ago but I want to respond to it anyway. Your second point is a bit of an overgeneralization. Historians believed that Marshall wanted to rule in favor of his Federalist buddies but thought that Jefferson would have simply ignored his writ, making the Court looks toothless. He played the long game. By giving Jefferson the technical win, he basically pushed Jefferson to accept the ruling, even though judicial review ended up aligning more with the Federalist ideology in the long run.

That’s crazy. I always knew it established judicial review, the courts strongest power, but… I never knew that the reason was because Marshall had ruled that the court didn’t have the power to rule in this case. So by limiting the supreme courts power in this case, and taking away the powers granted by the judiciary act of 1789, he ended up giving the court its strongest power. Ironic

The first line in this video made me chuckle a little because I'm currently in my first year in law school and I've already had 3 professors yell at us that Marbury is not nearly as important a case as it is often said to be, and that it's not even the most important judicial event of 1803--that would be the Louisiana Purchase.
