John Marshall was chief justice of the US Supreme Court and, as such, literally did not lift a finger to build the Washington Monument. Excavation for the monument began in 1848, thirteen years after Marshall died.

Marshall favored the construction ofA monument to honor Washington, but had nothing whatsoever to do with building it.

Why did John Marshall turn down his first appointment to the US Supreme Court?

John Adams attempted to appoint John Marshall to an Associate Justice position on the Supreme Court in 1798, but Marshall demurred, recommending former President George Washington's nephew, Bushrod Washington, in his place. Marshall was always reluctant to accept political appointments, and turned down opportunities as US Attorney General and Secretary of War under both Washington and Adams. Marshall enjoyed the practice of law and had built a successful private practice he was loath to give up.
