To finally bring law and order to the Upcountry, Governor Johnson established the Circuit Court Act of 1769. The act provided 7 circuit courts in the state with traveling judges. An organized militia was placed in each to finally bring peaceful settlement and law and order to the Backcountry.
Marbury v. Madison is important because it established the power of judicial review for the U.S. Supreme Court and lower federal courts with respect to the Constitution and eventually for parallel state courts with respect to state constitutions.
