Why did the US Supreme Court not order James Madison to deliver Marbury's commission letter to him?
Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)Marshall declined to issue a writ of mandamus ordering Madison to deliver Marbury's (and the other plaintiffs') commissions ostensibly because the Chief Justice declared the Court lacked constitutional authority to do so.In reality, Marshall had issued a "show cause" order in December 1801, a preliminary step to issuing a writ of mandamus, that Madison ignored. Marshall could reasonably assume Madison would also ignore a writ of mandamus, a move that would weaken the Judicial branch's authority in government. Since Marshall's goal was to strengthen the Judicial branch, he knew ordering delivery of the commissions was out of the question, and devised what appeared to be a deliberate political strategy to enhance the power of the Court without creating conflict between the three branches of government or the warring Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties.

What happened as a result of James Madisons refusal to deliver William Marburys appointment papers?
William Marbury and three other men whose commissions were undelivered filed suit against Madison in the Supreme Court. They asked the Court to issue a writ of mandamus (an order compelling an official to take action) demanding Madison release their commissions so they could take office as justices of the peace for Washington, DC.Madison ignored Chief Justice Marshall's order to show cause (why a writ of mandamus should not be issued), necessitating a trial to determine whether the men were entitled to the paperwork, whether the matter could be addressed by the court system, and which court should properly hear the case.Chief Justice Marshall declared the commissions were valid, but also decided Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, authorizing the Supreme Court to issue writs of mandamus against government officials, was unconstitutional because Congress had attempted to extend the Court's original jurisdiction into an area not specifically permitted by the Constitution. The Court held the men had to file their complaint in a lower federal court, then bring the matter to the Supreme Court on appeal, if necessary.The decision nullified part of the Judiciary Act of 1789, and represented the first time the US Supreme Court had overturned an Act of Congress as unconstitutional. Marshall asserted the federal courts had right and responsibility of judicial review (determining whether a law relevant to a case before the court is constitutional), and that the Supreme Court was the highest authority on constitutional interpretation and the law.This set a precedent that strengthened the Judicial Branch of government, making it co-equal to the Legislative and Executive Branches, and providing the federal courts with a means of checking the power of Congress and the President.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)

What Supreme Court decision did president Jackson ignore?
Jackson ignored Worcester v. Georgia. This was significant because Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court's decision which said that Georgia couldn't make laws that broke the terms on the authority of which the Cherokee's have the right to govern themselves on. Many people ask can he ignore the Supreme Court? Or, Why didn't the Supreme Court do anything about it? And do you know what I would say. idk. :)

Could the US Supreme Court force President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of State James Madison to appoint Marbury?
No. The Supreme Court has no power of enforcement; they have to rely on the Executive Branch to ensure their orders are carried out. Jefferson and Madison had already expressed disdain toward the Supreme Court, and open hostility toward the Federalist Party, which held all six seats on Court. Further, Jefferson had a personal dislike of Marshall, despite their being distant cousins.It is unlikely the President and Secretary of State would have complied with a court order to produce the commissions (Madison had ignored Marshall's order to show cause already), and the Court would have had no recourse for forcing their cooperation. This would have weakened the Judicial Branch relative to the other two branches of government.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)

Why did the Marbury v Madison trial take place?
In the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress had assigned the US Supreme Court responsibility for petitions of writs of mandamus (a judial order compelling an official to take, or refrain from taking, an action under his or her scope of responsibility), which meant the Court had to hear the case under original jurisdiction (as a trial court). That gave them less latitude for denying Marbury's application, since, by law, the Supreme Court would have been the point of entry into the federal judiciary, and Marbury had a legitimate grievance. Agreeing to hear the case also gave the Court an opportunity to declare Section 13 of the Judiciary Act unconstitutional, because Congress had overreached its authority by assigning the Court original jurisdiction over something not specifically prescribed by the Constitution. This validated the Court's right of judicial review (the ability to analyze laws in terms of adherence to the Constitution, and nullify legislation that doesn't conform), thus strengthening the Judicial branch and making it more equal to the other two branches of government.
