Marbury V. Madison
Issues and Decisions
Marburys problem!
Does he deserve the job he applied or? Yes!
But the supreme court does not have the power to force the push of the applications that John Marshall did not send.
The highest court in the land?..
The supreme court did not have the power to do what Marbury was complaining about, even if it is the "Highest court in the land". They said it was unconstitutional, (something they DID have the power to do) and rejected Marbury's court hearing.
*This issue made Judicial Review come to life. Making it more reasonable for the courts to reject certain things that are unconstitutional.
