Supreme Court Cases

Marbury VS. Madison (1803) The role of the United States Supreme Court, as designed by the U.S. Constitution, is to interpret and further define the laws of our country. In cases where disputes remain unresolved, the U.S. Supreme Court can choose to hear a case, and decide its outcome based on applicable law. This however, can be more difficult than it seems. Judicial review is the power of a court to review a statute, or an official action or inaction, for constitutionality. (1) The case of Marbury v. Madison, (1803) was the landmark Supreme Court decision, which ultimately gave the Supreme Court the power of judicial review. The Marbury v. Madison case began with the changing of Presidential

1a. Madison helped the passing of the Constitution by defending ridicule against it. He also supported the Great Compromise about representation in the legislature. He was also able to keep one of the few recollections of the events that happened in the Constitutional Convention. He later agreed that a Bill of Rights was fundamental to the Constitution and said he would do everything in his power to make it happen. b. While many of his peers did not approve of a Bill of Rights, in the end, he agreed that it was fundamental. He argued for any of the changes made in the Constitution even if his fellow Virginians did not agree with them. He even wrote letters to defend the Constitution against ridicule.

Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause. African Americans? rights would further be ensured and Southerners woud be able to let go of their former way of life.

How did the philosophical and political disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson lead to the creation of the first American political parties?

Shortly subsequent to the revolution, many serious changes took place in the United Sates. Aside from the physical characteristics, the political aspect of this period of social adolescence was most extraordinary. From the heart of the country rose two individuals, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Both of their political philosophies formed the basis of all development to come. Disputed issues such as interpretation of the constitution, the Louisiana Purchase, as well as who should manage public affairs, solidified the internal conflict of a growing nation. One disputed issue at hand being the way the United States should go about running itself, Hamilton and Jefferson possessed two very different views.
