As Chief Justice of the United States, John Marshall felt property rights should not be empowered.
Explanation:
As the longest serving Supreme Court of the United States, Marshall dominated the court for more than three decades and played an important role in the development of the American legal system. The most remarkable thing about this is that, particularly in the famous Marbury v. Madison judgment, he upheld the principle that federal courts are required to exercise the right to review. For example, alleged laws could be disregarded if they violate the Constitution. In this way, Marshall was able to anchor the judiciary in the United States as an independent and influential branch of the state. In addition, the Marshall Supreme Court issued a number of important decisions with regard to federalism. It touched on the balance of power between the federal government and the states during the early years of the nation. In particular, he repeatedly confirmed the supremacy of federal law on state-level laws. He also supported a broad interpretation of the so-called enumerated powers.
Some of his decisions received little support from the general public. Nevertheless, Marshall worked on the development of the third branch of the federal government and strengthened the federal level in the name of the Constitution.
