Answer: The origin of the case was somewhat trivial, but had great implications for the role of the Supreme Court in government. Marbury was appointed by John Adams, the president before Madison, as a district judge in Washington DC. When Madison became president, he didn't deliver the papers to finalize Marbury's appointment.

Marbury took him to Court, and although the Court initially sided with Marbury, the court, with John Marshall serving as Chief Justice, ultimately determined that the law that allowed Marbury to take the case to court was not constitutional. This meant that the law was struck down.

This was the first incidence of the Supreme Court exercising judicial review, the review of laws to determine constitutionality and their rejection if they are not, in the history of the United States. It was a landmark case not for the spat between Marbury and Madison over a district judgeship, but because it marked a huge expansion of the power of the Supreme Court (and thus the judicial branch).

We have seen the power of judicial review exercised in many cases since this one, such as Miranda vs Arizona (which established the law that police must read you your 'Miranda Rights' when they arrest you) and Plessy vs Ferguson, which determined that laws governing "seperate but equal" facilities for people of different races were in theory inherently unequal, and in practice clearly offered worse facilities to people of color.

slavikrds [6]

The Arthashastra is an ancient Indian text written between the 2nd and 3rd century BCE by Kautilya, and it served as a treatise on rulership, politics, economics and military strategy for the rulers of the time (starting with Chandragupta Maurya).

This text establishes a set of guidelines for emperors so they could be the best possible leaders for the people.

One of the aspects that the Arthashastra explains is that it envisioned that the king is - above all - fair to its people looking to provide them with happiness. While his relationship with his subjects was kind, the monarch didn´t trust them.

He kept a team of spies that were tasked with informing everything of the conduct of not only government officials but also the people. This body of spies in addition to an ample set of political and economic measures were the cornerstone to the grasp of the king to power.

Another one of this measures was the punishment to criminals.

The law system was mainly run by the king, guided by the Dharma - and in compliance to the Arthashastra - should deliver the harshest penalties to the people that committed crimes that affected the country as a whole, like it was the case with economic crimes.

Additionally, the Raja (King) should protect the wellbeing of every living bean (Human or animal) by sticking to the practice of the Ahimsa (non-violence towards all living things).

Considering these elements, the answer is: B, C, and E.
