Second US President John Adams nominated his Secretary of State, John Marshall, to succeed Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth who was retiring due to poor health. Adams was motivated to name a new Chief Justice because he recently learned Thomas Jefferson defeated him in the 1800 Presidential Election. Adams wanted to ensure a member of the Federalist party lead the Court to maintain his party's influence in government.
