At the time, the government was considered to be democratic, the only federalist officers were the judges. In marbury v Madison the judge, was a federalist (Judge Marshall). What happened was Jefferson order the Secretary of state to not deliver commissions to federalist judges. Marybury sued for commissions, which created the case. What was significant was Marshall used the judiciary act to rule Marbury had commission, but it gave the court grater power than the constitution make the act unconstitutional. Marbury lost the case but the federalist judges won in the end. This case created Judicial review   which let the supreme court exercise the power to decide weather an act of congress was allowed by the constitution. This gave the judges more power

This was the case that truly gave the Supreme Court their power.

John Adams was a Federalist. He was the president of the USA at one point. However, soon, Jefferson won the presidency. However, Jefferson was an anti-federalist. So Adams was rushing to fill the court with Federalists, by making more spots and filling them with people. However, his presidency ended before some people could get their commission papers. Marbury was one of the people who didn't get their commission paper. He sued the President for that reason, and they went into court. However, the Supreme Court and that time was generally weak and didn't have much power. Jefferson, no matter what, wasn't going to give Marbury his paper. However, the chief justice at that time, John Marshall, knew it was against the law. But he knew the president would just ignore his decision. So instead, what he did, was he stated that one of the powers the Supreme Court had was to declare things unconstitutional. And from there the power of the Supreme Court truly started.

Answer:

<u>The following words are the correct answers to complete the sentence: </u>

vigilant, zealous.

Since her house was broken into, Deidre has become especially <u>vigilant</u> about locking the doors when she leaves and particularly <u>zealous</u> in recruiting others to participate in the neighborhood watch program.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The adjectives vigilant and zealous are the correct words to complete the sentence. The adjective vigilant means to be attentive, to pay attention and be aware of a situation or a person in order to notice any problems or signs of danger in a quick way. Since her house was broken into, it makes sense for Deidre to be vigilant about locking the doors when she leaves the house. The other adjective, zealous, means to show a fervent partisanship for a cause, an ideal, or a person. After having her house broken into, Deidre has become zealous in recruiting others to participate in the neighborhood watch program.
