Which influential Chief Justice served on the US Supreme Court for 34 years?

Chief Justice John Marshall served from 1801 until his death in 1835, a tenure of 34 years.
When Federalist John Adams nominated Marshall to the Court, after losing the 1800 Presidential election to Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson, members of the Federalist party dominated the judiciary. Although Thomas Jefferson was able to replace three of six justices during his Presidential term, two of the three adopted Marshall's style of jurisprudence and voted with him on most decisions.
Although opposition to Marshall's perspective grew toward the end of his career as different political parties gained power and the Federalists faded, Marshall's keen mind and strong personality ensured he remained the dominant power on the Court throughout his life.
Marshall's opinions in cases like Marbury v. Madison,(1803), Fletcher v. Peck, (1810), and McCulloch v. Maryland, (1819), firmly established the doctrines of judicial review and federal supremacy such that his influence is still felt today.

∙ 14y agoMany people consider John Marshall, who presided over the US Supreme Court from 1801 until 1835, the most influential Chief Justice in history. Marshall defined the proper role of the Court as a coequal branch of the United States' tripartite government by affirming the Supreme Court's right of judicial review. He also helped establish the balance of power between the state and federal governments.
It would be fair argument that Chief Justice Earl Warren was also extremely influential, and played a significant role in advancing civil rights and individual liberties during the middle of the 20th century (1953-1969).
