Question

1. Why was the supreme court case Marbury v Madison about? What was the new power the Supreme Court attained with this ruling?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Decided in 1803, Marbury remains the single most important decision in American constitutional law. ... In late 1801, after Madison had repeatedly refused to deliver his commission, Marbury filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court asking the Court to issue a writ of mandamus forcing Madison to deliver his commission.

Marbury v. Madison strengthened the federal judiciary by establishing for it the power of judicial review, by which the federal courts could declare legislation, as well as executive and administrative actions, inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution (“unconstitutional”) and therefore null and void.Feb 17, 2020
