Who's watching in 2024? Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that established the principle of judicial review, meaning that American courts have the power to strike down laws and statutes they find to violate the Constitution of the United States. Thank you, Soomo. ❤

[@clarittana]

Any thing can be easily understood if explained like this

[@DenmiSama]

:) I hope my Constitutional Law Professor explains the case as clearly and as "dramatic" as you guys did! (Not in a bad way~! You guys made me realize how important this case was in history!)

Im glad my US/PR Constitutional Law professor explained the case as detailed and dramatically as he did. It made it one of my favorite cases ever.

[@lilyrojas4251]

I don't know why this made me tear up. Great job.

[@bdm1000]

It was supposed to. It is fiction. This is not what happened.

[@beaureeder2206]

Why you think that?

[@beaureeder2206]

Forum and Brim I'm not reading that bro. Give me the short story.

[@bdm1000]

Marbury v. Madison was a setup in 1803. It was never about giving William Marbury a Judgeship. John Adams and his then Secretary of State John Marshall, and James Marshall (John's brother), set the whole thing up with other founding fathers to seize Article I Section 1 authority for the judiciary (judicial review). In other words, the three purposely did not deliver the commission to Marbury and others so when Thomas Jefferson arrived on his first day of work, he would refuse to deliver him so that they could take him to court-knowing that Marbury would lose (which is the point of the article)-so that they could strike down the Judiciary Act of 1789. In my opinion, it goes further back than that. Jefferson said that, to his "mortification," when he joined George Washington's cabinet he discovered they were all in favor of "kingly" government. In other words, they wanted a strong central government. We're told that judicial review was an oversight and that's why it's not in the constitution. Furthermore, the court and others quote Alexander Hamilton's essay, Federalist 78, stating that it supports Chief Justice John Marshall's usurpation of judicial review. It does, but there was a reason Hamilton wrote it anonymously and did not show Madison or John Jay before he had it published in two NY newspapers. More to the point, it was a lie. Madison wrote Jefferson 8 months before Hamilton published Federalist 78 (a month after they finished drafting the constitution). He told Jefferson that the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention specifically discussed giving the judiciary judicial review, but the majority decided against it. Their reason was that if they wanted to include the supreme court in the legislative process they would have included them in on the front end of the legislative process before a bill became law. His reasoning was that to give the supreme court a check on the legislature afterwards made not sense because the point was to prevent injurious laws before their signed into law and not after when a person might not be able to fight it all the way to the supreme court. This is a bold faced lie that is completely covered up by politicians, law professors, lawyers and the like. It's why we're living with Citizens United v. FEC. Since judicial review is illegal, all congress needs to do is ignore the opinion in that case. Even the Attorney General of the United States in 1986 invited the nation to ignore the supreme court when it tried to use judicial review. The court is supposed to merely be the final court of law, they are not supposed to legislate from the bench by interpreting the constitution when it becomes ambiguous. They're appointed for life, so our founders wanted to leave all legislative matters to the congress (hence the first sentence of Art. I § 1). If people didn't like what the congress decided, they could be voted out of office. By allowing the federal government to steal judicial review for the legislature, they could make decisions like Citizens United and congress could play the blame game. In other words, Congress passed the 2002 campaign finance reform act to make it look like they were trying to rein in spending in elections just so the supreme court could step in and strike it down. It's convenient because it allows congress people to have single digit approval ratings while still being elected 90-95% of the time. It has other ramifications too which has led to more of the same (a lack of accountability at the federal level).

For a guy that was so concerned about too much power, Thomas Jefferson certainly took a lot of questionable liberties with his office as president.

[@grapekoolaid68]

Wait can you guys do more cases? Would love to see a video like this for McCulloch v. Maryland and others. Thanks!

[@markjohnson9455]

Listening to this presentation makes it very easy to understand the Marbury case because it comes down to two things: politics and intent. Marshall and the SC made a power gap to take something that was never intended along flimsy lines of raionale. In the present, the SC seems to have arbitary power to support or deny policy decisions from the legislative and executive branch. An argument can be made either way about the founding fathers intent and whether the SC fulfills that purpose or not. I think the SC's ability to render powerful decisions with no legal or executive challenge works against the intent of the founders instead of working towards it. That is why in Great Britain they have a higher court, but it cannot render decisions against Parliament or the Prime Minister. Who has the ability to overturn an SC decision or who has the authority to challenge the SC? The answer is nobody. I understand why in many countries they have an SC as well, but they use term limits or age requirements, see Israeli SC. The fact that justice can remain on the court for the rest of their life goes against the original intent of the founding fathers to create a balance of power instead you have the opposite effect. They can in effect have the ability to make policy which is something that was never intended. Even though there have been justices that I respect like Scalia, Thomas, Brandeis, Harlan to name others who have served. Nice job of explaining that in a simple and easy format.

[@shirtless6934]

Marbury v. Madison did not establish the principle of judicial review. In the case of Hylton v. United States, 3 U.S. 171 (1796), the Supreme Court declared an Act of Congress to be constitutional. I submit that it is as much an act of judicial review to declare a law sconstitutional as it is to declare a law unconstitutional. Of course, declaring a law unconstitutional does attract more attention.

[@ritemolawbks8012]

[@martinlutherking3871]

There's an era in this video the Supreme Court does not get the Judiciary power to tell you what the law is, it interrupts by constitution by interpretating what the founding fathers intentions were, while writing it, when the courts give their opinion it must be read in favor of the beneficiaries the people ,and must hold to all the protection and defense of all their rights and the persrvation of the American Republic

[@grishno]

This was GREAT! Thank you!!

[@JanetteGailFrancis]

If the part of the 1789 Judiciary Act that extends the powers of the Supreme Court is unconstitutional because it expands the power of the Supreme Court, then the decision, itself must also be null and void as the Judged ability to make a ruling of the constitution also ''extends the power of the Supreme Court'' becoming a catch 22 situation. I say the mandamus should have been made by the Judge who refused. The question of what was constitutional should belong to the people to answer, not one person.

[@Anna32071]

My teacher made me watch this and answer questions

[@gahrie]

Marshall did not "subsequently become Chief Justice". Between Jan 31 1801 and Mar 4 1801, Marshall was Chief Justice and Secretary of State at the same time. Marshall himself created the controversy that allowed him to create judicial review by not delivering Marbury's commission. I have never been able to understand why Marshall was not forced to recuse himself.

[@mirianinsaurralde22]

thanks lot from Argentina! :)

[@M0rmagil]

thank you for this upload! really helped! :)))

[@kckcmctcrc]

IMO, by not explaining Article III Section II a very interesting part of MvM is omitted as this section clearly defines the occasions the SC can hear cases with Original, as opposed to Appellate, Jurisdiction. And if I understand the Judiciary Act of 1789 Section XIII correctly, it expanded the set of circumstances with which the SC could hear a case. This Expansion was deemed unconstitutional.

[@orok6803]

[@karllinhart6390]

Very good video. One thing though. The Judiciary Act of 1801 had some good intentions. It was meant to help Supreme Court Judges from riding circuit, where they would have to hear a case at the Circuit level with the possible of hearing it again at the National level. The Federalist obviously took advantage of this as you nicely stated. Also, Jefferson's party was not the Anti-Federalist, but the Republican Party (sometimes called Demo-Republican in textbooks so as not to confuse anyone)

[@1213bryan]

[@sara.maleficent91]

[@danielduerst5067]

So before Marbury v Madison the Supreme Court could only say what the law wasn't?

[@analyzeit6882]

I think that the idea of the interpretation of the law has been expanded way beyond judicial review. If the court cannot find the enumerated power under which a law has been enacted, the law is "null and void". However, the courts began interpreting the "rule of law" to mean what they said it meant, and not bringing to play the constitutional tenor under which the law was enacted. In the final analysis, it is the People who are the ultimate arbiters of the law, but the court took that away from the People. This is exactly what the Anti-Federalists (Constitutionalists) feared. That is why the vast majority of people believe that rights can be regulated by the government. If you regulate, it is no longer a right, but rather a privilege that the government may license, or destroy.

[@erniegarcia3902]

[@lucywang8643]

[@Gracerenay]

So what really was the importance of the Case of Marbury vs. Madison?

[@valzod3808]

+Grace Renay From my understanding this gave the Court's the authority to interpret the laws, decided what is constitutional, and to nullify actions that are declared unconstitutional. This made the judiciary system just as powerful as the executive and legislative branch, who jobs are to make laws.

[@Gracerenay]

+Jason Blood thanks so much I understand now

[@forliberty1805]
