Assuming that the groups you have to choose from are:
- A. Believers in a strong national government
- B. Advocates for states' rights
- C. Supporters of abolition
- D. Proponents of western expansion
Believers in a strong national government (A) were most likely to oppose the <em>Marbury v. Madison</em> decision.
This famous 1803 Supreme Court case opposed William Marbury, backed by ex-President John Adams, and James Madison, backed by President Thomas Jefferson.
Adams was a Federalist, a believer in a centralized, national government.
Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, a defender of states' rights (B), western expansion (D), and the abolition of slavery (C).
<em>Marbury v. Madison</em> was won by the Democratic-Republicans, because the Supreme Court ruled that Madison had a right to prevent Marbury from getting the job he wanted as a justice of the peace commissioned by the former president.
