- After repealing the Judiciary Act of 1801, lots of people were upset because they didn't receive their commissions to be judges. One of them was William Marbury. He decided to sue James Madison, the person supposed to deliver the commissions.
- You didn't deliver our commissions! I'm suing you!
- Yeah! That's right!
- James Madison

- John Marshall
- Well, because this act is unconstitutional, the Supreme Court can't make him do anything.
- You need to make him deliver those commissions!
- Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court to force Madison to deliver the commissions, citing the Judiciary Act of 1789. John Marshall, the chief justice, said that this act had exceeded the authority of the Court, and ruled the act unconstitutional, so it could not be used.

- I agree! I also think the Supreme Court should have the final say on whether laws or policies comply with the Constitution.
- I think that the Court should have the authority to declare acts unconstitutional if they exceed the power granted by the Constitution. It should also be able to review any laws. We'll call it Judicial Review.
- This case was critically important because it gave new powers to the Supreme Court. One was the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional if they exceeded the powers given by the Constitution. Most important of all, the Supreme Court became the arbiter of the Constitution, meaning it has the final authority to interpret the meaning of the Constitution. The third change was the creating of Judicial Review. This allows the Court to review any law or act to determine if they are following the Constitution.
