Marbury V. Madison

In 1801, John Marshall created the Judiciary Act of 1801, which created 16 new federal judgeships and a few other jobs, caused a large amount of controversey with the people. This act was eventually repealled and caused William Marbury to sue and this was taken to the supreme court. The supreme court ruled in favor of Marbury, but they could not do anything about it. This was fixed when The Chief of Justice Marshall gave more power to the courts. Then, in 1804, this cause a revolt of the people against Samuell Chase, but he was never convicted of anything, so, he was let free.
