Answer:
B. claimed for the courts the power of judicial review
Explanation:
Marbury v. Madison was a Supreme Court case in which the doctrine of judicial review that declares that the U.S. Supreme Court has the power to declare an act of Congress as unconstitutional and therefor, declare it null was established.
Marbury v. Madison originated after President John Adams and the Senate appointed 42 justices of peace one day before he left office and the Secretary of State, John Marshall failed to deliver four of the commissions, including William Marbury's commission. The new President, Thomas Jefferson, ordered the new Secretary of State, James Madison to hold back those commissions, so Marbury sued James Madison. Chief Justice John Marshall declared that it was wrong that Madison and Jefferson denied to give Marbury his commission, but that the Court lacked of power to grant a writ of mandamus because it was unconstitutional, establishing then, the concept of judicial review.
