John Marshall's experience in the Virginia legislature during the period when planters resisted repaying debts to English merchants significantly shaped his political philosophy. He witnessed firsthand the tensions between economic interests and legal obligations, leading him to value strong federal authority and the rule of law. This experience reinforced his belief in the necessity of a robust judiciary to uphold contracts and protect property rights, ultimately influencing his later role as Chief Justice in establishing a strong federal judiciary. Marshall's commitment to the principles of nationalism and economic stability became cornerstones of his judicial decisions.
