Judicial Review
Marbury vs. Madison
This was the first time that the Supreme Court had declared an act of Congress unconstitutional Marbury v Madison helped to define the boundary between the judicial and executive branches of the United States. The significant thing about the Marbury v Madison case was the recognition of Judicial review.
Marbury v Madison established the principle of Judicial Review. That is the right of the federal courts to declare acts of Congress and states, laws, and certain actions of the executive branch, unconstitutional.
Marbury V Madison (1803) established the concept of judicial review. John Marshall, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at the time, was a Federalist, and all his rulings strengthened the power of the federal government over that of the individual states. In Marbury V Madison, Marshall ruled that the Supreme Court had the power to declare both decisions by lower federal courts, and laws, unconstitutional.
Marbury v. Madison produced the idea of judicial review, which means the courts can interpret how the laws are used in court.

Marbury v. Madison is the Supreme Court case that established the precedent of judicial review. John Marshall was the Chief Justice of the court.
In the famous Marbury vs. Madison case in 1803, the US Supreme Court ruled that it had the power of judicial review. This entailed that the Court has the power to determine if a bill passed by Congress and signed into law by the President is in accordance with the US Constitution. By its own power the Court could either declare a law valid and thus "Constitutional" or if invalid, to be reversed.
