Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
Marbury v. Madison was an essentially meaningless case argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1803 in which the Court asserted the power of the Supreme Court to decide whether or not laws were constitutional. THAT is its lasting legacy, and every SCOTUS decision since cites Marbury v. Madison as their authority.

Madison (1803), which established the principle of judicial review, allowing the Court to declare laws unconstitutional.
