The Marshall Court: Pivotal Cases and Lasting Federalist Influence (1801-1834)

The Marshall Court (1801-1834) significantly shaped the U.S. legal landscape through landmark cases such as Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland. Appointed by Federalist John Adams, these judges aimed to enforce a strong national government and uphold federal laws, emphasizing the Constitution as a living document. With original jurisdiction defined in Article III, Section 2, their rulings reinforced the Supreme Court's authority and established principles of federalism, influencing the balance of power in American governance.
