There was no dissenting opinion in Gibbons v. Ogden,which received a unanimous vote of 6-0*; however, Justice William Johnson wrote a concurring opinion in order to present points not specifically covered in Marshall's writing.
Justice Johnson wrote, in part:
"A right over the subject has never been pretended to in any instance except as incidental to the exercise of some other unquestionable power.
"The present is an instance of the assertion of that kind, as incidental to a municipal power; that of superintending the internal concerns of a State, and particularly of extending protection and patronage, in the shape of a monopoly, to genius and enterprise.
"The grant to Livingston and Fulton interferes with the freedom of intercourse, and on this principle, its constitutionality is contested.
"When speaking of the power of Congress over navigation, I do not regard it as a power incidental to that of regulating commerce; I consider it as the thing itself, inseparable from it as vital motion is from vital existence.
"Commerce, in its simplest signification, means an exchange of goods, but in the advancement of society, labour, transportation, intelligence, care, and various mediums of exchange become commodities, and enter into commerce, the subject, [p*230] the vehicle, the agent, and their various operations become the objects of commercial regulation. Shipbuilding, the carrying trade, and propagation of seamen are such vital agents of commercial prosperity that the nation which could not legislate over these subjects would not possess power to regulate commerce."
* There were seven justices on the bench in 1824, but Smith Thompson did not take part in the deliberation or vote.

What else can I help you with?
Explain the difference between the majority opinion and the concurring opinion of Marbury v. Madison?
The Court only issued one opinion in Marbury v. Madison, (1803), which was authored by John Marshall. Earlier Courts typically released per seriatim (Latin: in sequence) opinions, meaning each justice expressed his individual view and reasoning.Oliver Ellsworth, third Chief Justice of the United States, began the practice of writing a single opinion for each case. In Ellsworth's absence, which was relatively frequent due to his poor health, the remaining members of the Court often issued per seriatim opinions. But when Ellsworth was present for arguments, he usually wrote and delivered the opinion himself.John Marshall continued the single-opinion practice when he became the fourth Chief Justice, in 1801. Marshall believed issuing one unified decision strengthened the Court and resulted in less confusion in setting precedent. A few cases on the Marshall Court generated dissenting opinions, but Marbury was decided by a unanimous vote of 4-0. (Justices Cushing and Moore took no part in the decision due to illness during oral arguments.)For more information about Marbury v. Madison, see Related Questions, below.

Who decides which justice writes the dissenting opinion in a Supreme Court case?
If the justices who voted against the majority wish to issue a unified dissenting opinion, they decide amongst themselves who will author the opinion, then the others, if in agreement, will "join" the opinion. Individual justices may write their own (concurring or dissenting) opinions, regardless of whether they agree with the majority. Justices may also "join" or sign any other written opinion they agree with. This generally strengthens the opinion.

What happens if a dissenting opinion is issued by a justice of the Supreme Court?
Nothing really "happens". It's published along with the majority opinion but doesn't change the majority decision in any way. Unless the Court votes unanimously, there will generally be a dissenting opinion. A justice may even opt to write an opinion "concurring" with the judgment itself, but indicating that he has reached the same conclusion via different reasoning, or "concurring in part and dissenting in part" which means he thinks part of the majority opinion is good and part of it is not. It's not uncommon for there to even be three or more opinons published, with various justices agreeing with each other about some parts but disagreeing on others. For example, the majority opinion might be: the decision of the lower court is overturned for Reason 1, Reason 2, and Reason 3. A dissenting opinion may state that the decision should not be overturned at all, and an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part may say that Reason 3 is total hogwash (they generally polite it up a bit, but that's often the general gist... reading Supreme Court opinions is sometimes more entertaining than you might think), but that Reason 1 and Reason 2 are still good, and a fourth opinion might say that Reasons 1, 2, and 3 are all wrong, but the decision should still be overturned because of Reason 4. None of this changes the basic decision itself (to overturn the lower court's ruling) in any way.

What was the dissenting opinion in Kent v US?
Koon v. United States, 518 US 81 (1996)There were three other opinions issued (other than the majority opinion), all concurring in part and dissenting in part.Justice Stevens wrote that he does not believe the District Court abused discretion. He accepts all parts of the majority opinion except that he does "not understand the opinion to foreclose the District Court from basing a downward departure on an aggregation of factors each of which might in itself be insufficient to justify a departure."Justice Souter wrote, with which Justice Ginsburg joined, that he affirmed the Circuit Court's "rejection of the downward departures based on susceptibility to abuse in prison and on successive prosecution, for to do otherwise would be to attribute an element of irrationality to the Commission and to its 'heartland' concept."Justice Breyer wrote, with which Justice Ginsburg joined, that the Guideline called into question encompasses the possibility of a "double prosecution." "For that reason, a simple double prosecution, without more, does not support a departure." Also, potential mistreatment in prison cannot be used for departure because then everybody would use that as an excuse.
