Why is William marbury significant?

William Marbury is significant in the annals of history because it was his commission that John Adams failed to deliver on time and James Madison refused to sign. This led to the Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison, in which John Marshall first put forth the idea of judicial review.


Did William Marbury ever get the commission that Marbury v Madison said he had a right to?

No. In the opinion of the Court, Marshall declared Marbury was entitled to his commission, but that the Supreme Court didn't have original jurisdiction to issue the writ of mandamus Marbury requested. Marshall explicitly stated Marbury would have to refile his case in a lower court first, then appeal to the Supreme Court if he failed to get relief at that level. Marbury never refiled his case.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
