What did the US Supreme Court's decision in Marbury v Madison do for the Court?
The decision in Marbury helped establish the Judicial branch, lead by the Supreme Court, as co-equal with the Legislative and Executive branches, when Chief Justice Marshall affirmed the courts' power of judicial review.
Marshall's interpretation of Article III was that, as an independent branch of the federal government, part of the Court's responsibility was judicial review, which allows the Supreme Court to analyze legislation relevant to a case before the Court and nullify any laws they determine to be unconstitutional.
This enabled the Court to check the power of the Legislative and Executive branches by preventing them from imposing legislation that violated citizens' constitutional rights.

Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
