Marbury vs. Madison
Storyboard Text
- Before Jefferson could take his place, Adams appointed a number of justices of peace. Jefferson ordered James Madison not to deliver the commissions for them.
- William Marbury, one of these denied justices, petitioned to the Supreme Court for a writ of Mandamus for Madison to say why he should not get the commission.
- This caused Chief Justice Marshall to wonder about the rights of each side of the case. He decided that Marbury did have a right to the writ because he was properly appointed
