John Marshall is best remembered as arguably the most influential Supreme Court Chief Justice is history. During his tenure on the Court, from 1801-1835, Marshall's constitutional interpretations served to elevate the Judicial Branch to co-equal status with the other parts of government.

He formally established the courts' right of judicial review, their ability to evaluate and overturn unconstitutional laws. He also helped establish the hierarchy of power between the federal government and the states, increased Congress' influence through use of the Interstate Commerce Clause, and ensure states honored contract agreements, among other things.
