Court Marshall

• Before Adams left he appointed as many federal Judges to the federal courts to keep federalists in a role of power

• Since Justices were appointed for life, Jefferson was powerless to change them

• Adams also appointed John Marshall as chief justice where he would serve for over 3 decades

Bury Bury Mad

• When James Madison Refused to Appoint William Marbury Justice of the Peace Marbury Sued

• Marbury’s Appointment Violated the Law of the Constitution and the Decision was upheld

Marshall LawMarbury v. Madison set up Judicial

Review giving the Supreme Court final say on constitutional matters

Marshall seized new powers for the supreme court, but since it was used to the Democratic Republican’s benefit, Jefferson could not fight it

This decision would set up a lasting Checks and Balances system still in effect today
