Marbury V. Madison
• Just before President John Adams left office,
he appointed John Marshall as Chief Justice of
the US Supreme Court. (Midnight Judges)
• The Supreme Court was often viewed as the
weakest of the three branches, but Marshall
made the Supreme Court a new center of
government power.
Background
• President Adams, just before leaving office
appointed Marbury as a justice of the peace. The
new Secretary of State, James Madison, refused
to deliver his commission (official papers) making
him a justice of the peace. Marbury asked the
Supreme Court to require Madison to deliver his
commission. The first Congress had passed the
Judiciary Act of 1789 to create the lower federal
courts. Marbury argued the act gave the
Supreme Court the power to force Madison to
deliver the Comission.
Significance
• The court ruled that the part of the Judiciary Act
that gave the Supreme Court power to order the
delivery of the Comission went against the
Constitution.
• The Court declared that part of the act to be null
and void. This case established judicial reviewthe right of the Supreme Court to declare law
unconstitutional. This greatly increased the
power of the judiciary by making it the final
authority in interpreting the Constitution.
Gibbons v. Ogden
• America’s Transportation system went through
drastic changes with the invention of the
steam engine.
• The locomotive and the Steam Boat made
transporting goods and people more efficient.
• Along with the efficiency it also made
competition over commerce
Background
• Robert Fulton’s steamboat was able to make a
150 mile trip from New York City to Albany
traveling against the current of the Hudson River
in only 32 hours.
• Soon, steamboats were traveling up and down
the Mississippi and other rivers, carrying both
people and goods.
• During this period, the Supreme Court
encouraged the growth of a national market by
its decision in the case of Gibbons v. Ogden.
• Ogden had been granted a monopoly by New
York State to operate a steamboat between
New York and New Jersey. Gibbons was
granted a similar license by the federal
government. Ogden sued to stop Gibbons
from competing with him. Gibbons appealed
to the Supreme Court.
Decision/Significance
• Marshall ruled that Congress could regulate ferry boats
crossing the Hudson River between NY and NJ as part of its
power under the Constitution to control “interstate
commerce” (trade between states).
• Only the federal government could regularte interstate
commerce, including activities affecting interstate
commerce.
• This established the federal government’s right to regulate
anything that involves commerce between states
• It set the stage for future expansion of Congressional power
over other activities once thought to be under the control
of states.
McCulloch v. Maryland
Background
• In 1818, the MD legislature imposed a tax on the
MD branch of the Second National Bank. The
National Bank was unpopular since it competed
with state banks. MD legislatures hoped that
state taxes on the federal bank would shut down
the MD branch. James McCulloch, the federal
bank’s cashier, did not pay the taxes that the MD
law required, and MD sued for payment. After
the state of MD won the dispute in its own
courts, the case was appealed to the US Supreme
Court.
Decision/Significance
• The case presented two key issues: 1. Does Congress
have the power to create a bank, even though that
power is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution?
2. Does MD have the power to tax an institution of the
federal government?
• Marshall ruled that Congress could indeed charter a
national bank, since this would help Congress carry out
its other powers.
• Marshall said that the “necessary and proper” clause in
the Constitution gives Congress all those powers needed
to carry out its powers listed in the Constitution.
• He also said that since the federal government had the
right to establish the bank, MD had no right to interfere
by taxing it.
Worcester v. Georgia
• Georgia passed a law in 1830 stating that any
white person living among Indians without a
license would be sent to prison.
• State legislatures feared white missionaries were
encouraging Indians to resist removal.
• Samuel Worcester, a missionary, was arrested and
sentenced to prison for four years for living
among the Cherokees.
• Worcester sued for his freedom and his case
went to the Supreme Court.
Decision/Significance
• The ruling stated that the law that GA had
passed was unconstitutional
• Worcester was cleared of charges
Dred Scott v. Sandford
• A Southern Slave, Dred Scott, was taken by his
owner to the North and then back into slavery
in the South.
• Scott sued for his freedom on the grounds
that he had been taken to free soil, therefore,
he should have not been put back into slavery.
Decision/Significance
• Chief Justice Roger Taney read the Supreme Court’s
decision as a “descendant of African born slaves” Dred
Scott was not a citizen, and therefore was not entitled
to bring a lawsuit before the court.
• Taney further asserted the Africans could never
become US citizens since Africans were not included in
the Constitution.
• Taney then ruled that slaves were property, protected
by the Constitution, therefore, the Missouri
Compromise outlawing slavery was unconstitutional.
• Taney’s ruling meant that slavery could spread
