Speak truth to power
This case was very important in that it gave the Judiciary [US Supreme court] the power to decide what is legal precedent and become an equal check and balance on the other branches: the legislative [Congress] and executive [President]. This case changed the way in which the United States Supreme Court was operating as an institution. This court has been making law for the United States for many years, and it does effect all of us.

"Marbury v. Madison
(1803)
Background of the Case Shortly before Thomas Jefferson took office, John Adams had appointed William Marbury to be a justice of the peace. Adams had signed Marbury’s commission, but it was never delivered. Marbury sued to force Madison to give him the commission.
The Court’s Ruling
The Court ruled that the law Marbury based his claim on was unconstitutional.
The Court’s Reasoning
The Judiciary Act of 1789 gave the Supreme Court the authority to hear a wide variety of cases, including those like Marbury’s. But the Supreme Court ruled that Congress did not have the power to make such a law. Why? Because the Constitution limits the types of cases the Supreme Court can hear. Thus, the law was in conflict with the Constitution and had to be struck down.
Why It Matters
Marbury v. Madison was important for several reasons. It confirmed the Supreme Court’s power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. By doing so, it established the Court as the final authority on the Constitution. This helped make the judicial branch of government equal to the other two branches. Chief Justice John Marshall and later federal judges would use this power of judicial review as a check on the legislative and executive branches. "
