Loving v. Virginia is a Supreme Court case that found the Virginia statute prohibiting interracial marriages to be unconstitutional.
Fourth Chief Justice John Marshall, who presided over the US Supreme Court from 1801-1835, firmly established the role of the Court as the interpreter of the Constitution. Cases like Marbury v. Madison, (1803); Fletcher v. Peck, (1810); McCulloch v. Maryland, (1819); Cohens v. Virginia, (1821); Gibbons v. Ogden, (1824), and others enhanced the power of both the federal government and Judiciary branch.
