Why was marshall hesitant to serve a cabinet officer a writ?
Because if Marshall ruled in favor of Marbury, then the president Madison, would probably ignore the court and cause a major debate on the constitutionality of the argument. It would create a huge controversy on the argument and the Supreme Court could have lost some of its powers. This is why he did not want to give Marbury a writ - he wanted to avoid controversy and therefore declared it unconstitutional.
