marbury V madison
Storyboard Text
- In the hallowed halls of justice, the stage was set for Marbury v. Madison.
- Madison
- Chief Justice John Marshall
- Marbury
- Let the proceedings begin.
- Your Honor, I was appointed by President Adams! My commission, signed and sealed, yet denied by the new administration.
- Mr. Marbury's commission wasn't delivered according to the new President's instructions. It's a matter of political discretion.
- In this moment, Chief Justice Marshall laid the foundation for the Supreme Court's authority to interpret the Constitution.
- Gentlemen, the heart of the matter lies within our Constitution. We must examine the authority granted to this Court
- Thank you!
- Im sorry Marbury, but I cant make Madison give you back the papers. Our duty is not to wield political power but to ensure the Constitution is upheld. This, gentlemen, is the essence of judicial review.
- What?? Why?
- And so, the precedent was set—a principle that would guide the Supreme Court through history, solidifying the power of judicial review. In this case, Marbury prevailed.
- Case closed!
