Superficially cordial, but neither liked the other. Marshall was a Federalist, Jefferson, an Anti-Federalist; the two held diametrically opposed views of the role of the US government and the balance of power between the federal government and the states.

John Marshall's disposition has been described as genial and easygoing. Jefferson is said to have been dour, pessimistic, and socially awkward. Some historians suggest part of the problem between the two men (other than holding opposite political views) may have revolved around Jefferson's jealousy of Marshall's nature and popularity.
