Why is Marbury v. Madison an important decision in U.S. history?

History

abruzzese [7]3 years ago
4 0

Marbury v. Madison is important as it established judicial review. I've written about it a few times on here today, so will work in other answers. John Adams tried to game the process and nominated Marbury to a post in the final hours of Adams' administration. The hitch was that the Secretary of State had to deliver a commission to make it official. Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of State, James Madison (future President), refused to deliver the commission.

Marbury, who was denied the post, sued.

The outcome of the case is a little murky for casual readers. In essence, though, Marbury still got hosed. He was told that he should have received the commission and that Madison was wrong but that the actual act by which he was nominated wasn't properly constructed.

So, the Supreme Court won the day by reviewing the actions of the other branches and poor Marbury got nothing.

Han Chinese increased the size of the Chinese government and developed acupuncture, salt mining, paper, seismography, and the first Chinese dictionary. Consequently, the best choice is (B).

<h3>What is the Han dynasty?</h3>

Liu Bang founded the Han dynasty, a Chinese imperial dynasty that was headed by the House of Liu. The short-lived Qin dynasty and a fighting interregnum known as the Chu-Han dispute came before the dynasty, while the Three Kingdoms period came after it.

The kings also strove to advance science and technology, and the Han devised paper, made use of water clocks and sundials, and created a seismograph. During that time, calendars were routinely released.

Hence, Option (C ) is the accurate one.
