Marbury+v.+Madison

__ Marbury vs. Madison __
 * Adams tries to pack the Judiciary with Federalists
 * Creates new judge positions
 * William Marbury was supposed to be justice of the peace for Washington D.C
 * Marshall (secretary of state) is supposed to deliver commissions, but his term runs out before he does it
 * James Madison (republican secretary of state) does not deliver the commissions
 * Marbury complains to the supreme court saying they have to make Madison deliver his commissions
 * When Marshall left his job as Secretary of State, he is appointed a supreme court justice
 * Marshall realizes that the legislature branch is identifying what the Judicial branch does (Judiciary Act of 1801 is unconstitutional-->can't give Marbury his commission)
 * The court gets the power of Judicial Review (tell weather something is constitutional or not)
 * Judiciary Act of 1801 (supreme court has the power to order the executive branch to deliver commissions)
 * Marshall demanded Madison to deliver commission (Madison says no)
 * Marshall or the court doesn’t have the authority to do this (makes the judicial branch look weak)
 * Constitution states what the Judiciary Branch can do
