first scene
Storyboard Text
- It was John Adams last day of being president, one of his last things he did, was make a guy called William Marbury the justice of peace in District Columbia
- As my last thing I do as president, you will be the justice of peace in the District of Columbia
- Jefferson did not like the commissions, so he ordered Madison to get rid of the papers, Madison did that and Marburg wanted justice. Marbury wanted Madison to carry out his duties so he went to the court. The court was deciding what to do.
- Hmmmm....
- Please use the judicial act to make Madison carry out his duties, please!!
- Madison won the case, since the supreme court decided Marbury deserves his job, but won't force Madison to give him the comissons. They decided with an anonymous vote.
- We decided by an anonymous vote that you should get the job, but we aren't gonna force Madison
- That is so unfair!!
- The Madison vs Marbury case caused supreme court to make their own law, where the supreme court could declare a law passed by congress unconstitutional. Its called the Judicial Review
- This case made us make Judicial Review
- The supreme court is now super powerful.
- Judicial Review
- Since the Supreme Court made Judicial Review, they are now the most powerful and can do anything they please. If a house does something the Supreme court can say undo it since now they can check the branches
- Checked
- Can check the other branches
- Jefferson and many others disliked the Judicial Review since so many federalist had control.
- Its unfair on how the court gets Judicial Review, its unconstitutional!!
- You are right Jefferson, it is unconstitutional
- So he went to Congress and told them it was unconstitutional, Congress agreed.
- It is fair!!!!
