Did the supreme court force madison to give marbury's commission of office and why?

1 answer:

Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court to force the new Secretary of State, James Madison, to deliver the documents. The Court, with John Marshall as Chief Justice, found firstly that Madison's refusal to deliver the commission was both illegal and correctible. Nonetheless, the Court stopped short of ordering Madison (by writ of mandamus) to hand over Marbury's commission, instead holding that the provision of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that enabled Marbury to bring his claim to the Supreme Court was itself unconstitutional, since it purported to extend the Court's original jurisdiction beyond that which Article III established. The petition was therefore denied.

I'm not sure if that helped, but good luck :)

Actions taken during WW1 helped to promote ethnic unity and destabilise the region for the next century.

As Lawrence of Arabia encouraged the Bedouin tribes to fight against the Ottoman Empire, he tried to provoke nationalism in the ethnicities living in the Empire at the time, for example, Syrians and Arabs. He encouraged them to fight for their freedom and promised an independent nation for those minorities in the Empire.

The Sykes-Picot agreement destabilised the region and broke the promises made by Britain and France for an independent nation for the Arabs, Syrians, Bedouins etc. They split the Middle East in accordance to their colonial spheres of influence and occupied different parts of the Middle East, the borders created caused anger and outrage for some, eg Israel-Palestine.
