Question

Who led the opposition to the Marshall Court, and what was the position they took in denouncing it?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson led the opposition to the Marshall Court. Jefferson never backed down from complaining against the judiciary system at every occasion possible. This was the stand taken by Thomas Jefferson against Marshall for denouncing it. Whenever the situation demanded Jefferson rose to the occasion to oppose. Jefferson was a person who believed in giving rights to the states rather than keeping the power centralised. Jefferson was totally opposed to the federal government having huge power. He also was opposed to the idea of supreme court judicial review system.
