Best Answer

Chief Justice John Marshall is credited with affirming the doctrine of judicial review by declaring Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional in Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803).

Although the Supreme Court under John Marshall was not the first to review a law for constitutionality, he was the first to declare an act of Congress unconstitutional.
