Fourth Chief Justice John Marshall (1801-1835) made that declaration in the Supreme Court's decision for Worcester v. Georgia, (1832). Marshall also stated the federal government had a duty to protect the Cherokee Nation from Georgia's aggression, but the Congress and President Jackson ignored the suggestion because it wasn't part of the legal ruling.

When the US Supreme Court heard Marbury vs Madison was it under original jurisdiction or appellate jurisdiction?
The Supreme Court heard the case under original jurisdiction because the Judiciary Act of 1789 assigned to the Court the responsibility for all writs of mandamus. However, John Marshall determined the Constitution hadn't granted the Supreme Court subject matter jurisdiction over Marbury's case, and that the proper initial venue would be federal District Court.Therefore, while the Court determined Marbury was entitled to his commission, they couldn't compel Secretary of State Madison to deliver it. Had Marbury wanted to pursue the matter further, he would have to refile in District Court. If he wasn't granted satisfaction in the lower courts, then the Supreme Court could properly hear his petition under its appellate jurisdiction.Marbury never refiled the case, and never became justice of the peace.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
