No, he was the fourth chief justice, but a lot of scholars feel he was one of the most important. He sort of discovered the jurisdiction of the appellate courts to decide what was constitutional and what was not constitutional; in other words, he more or less discovered, encoundered the reasoning for judicial oversight of legislative action, provided the issues got properly brought before the court. Again, it's a question of jurisdiction and standing.
