Madison Still Matters This landmark case laid the foundation for judicial review and remains essential for understanding constitutional law. 01:53 Historical Setup: The 1800 Election A shift in political power sets the stage as President John Adams races to appoint Federalist judges before Thomas Jefferson takes office. 03:37 Midnight Judges and a Missing Commission Adams signs commissions for new judges—including William Marbury—but Jefferson blocks their delivery, sparking legal action. 06:42 Marbury Seeks a Writ of Mandamus Marbury petitions the Supreme Court to compel Jefferson’s Secretary of State, James Madison, to deliver his judicial commission. 09:22 The Supreme Court’s Dilemma Chief Justice John Marshall must decide between confronting the executive branch or appearing weak—both risky moves. 11:36 Marshall’s Brilliant Maneuver Marshall finds Marbury has a strong claim but strikes down Section 13 of the Judiciary Act for expanding Court power unconstitutionally. 16:30 Key Takeaway #1: Rule of Law Prevails The Court refuses to expand its own power, reinforcing that even beneficial laws must bow to constitutional limits. 18:30 Key Takeaway #2: Constitution Is Supreme Marbury confirms that the U.S. Constitution overrides all other federal laws when conflicts arise. 19:31 Key Takeaway #3: Birth of Judicial Review The Court claims the authority to strike down laws that violate the Constitution, cementing its role in the balance of power. 24:00 Practical Relevance for Law Students You won’t need to analyze Marbury in detail on exams—just remember it established the Court’s power of judicial review. 25:10 Extending Review to States and Courts Follow-up cases confirm that the Supreme Court can also strike down unconstitutional state laws and court decisions. 27:14 What’s Next in the Series The next video will cover case-or-controversy requirements like standing, ripeness, and mootness for modern constitutional law analysis.
