Marshall’s opinion was organized rather differently, answering if the Court had jurisdiction after deciding the appropriate remedy. Justice Marshall first decided that Marbury had a right to his commission, but did not order for his commission to be delivered from the Court. Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was deemed unconstitutional because it allowed Marbury to bring his claim to the Supreme Court, extending the Court’s jurisdiction past what is included in the Constitution. Congress, who wrote and passed the Judiciary Act, did not have the power to modify the Constitution. Marshall famously wrote, “A law repugnant to the Constitution is void.” By declaring an act of Congress unconstitutional, Marshall established judicial review. Federal courts can declare federal laws unconstitutional based on the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. State courts have the power to review state laws based off of their state constitutions. • **Find a transcript, lesson plans, worksheets, and more at: https://academy4sc.org/topic/marbury-... • **Think Further Questions • 1. Why do you think Marshall waited to answer if the Court had the jurisdiction in the case after answering the rest of the questions posed to the Court? • 2. Where do you think the Judiciary’s power stands in comparison to the legislative and executive branches? What is the most powerful function of the judicial branch? • 3. What are examples of judicial review of federal laws that you think have had an impact on your life? Consider the Affordable Care Act decision in National Federation of Independent Business v.
