The Constitution of the United States divides the government into three co-equal branches; the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial. The legislative branch is the Senate and the House of Representatives, which have the sole authority to make all laws. The executive branch, headed by the President, is charged with enforcing the laws. The Judicial branch, composed of one Supreme court and such other courts such as Congress may establish, judges disputes.
Chief Justice Marshall's opinion in Marbury v. Madison strengthened the Supreme Court and elevated the Judicial Branch's power to co-equal status with the other branches of government by giving them a tool (judicial review) to apply as a check and balance on the other branches of government.It also annoyed President Jefferson tremendously.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
