They were invaluable advisors to their husbands, collected the political news for them and kept them informed through a system of letter writing, all while their husbands were away from home for long periods of time- years at a time. They were given heavy responsibilities, were the backbone of America and yet, their husbands would not even consider giving them equal status as citizens.
Another lesson to be learned is that perseverance pays off eventually.

Who did President John Adams appoint Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1801?
Federalist President John Adams, who had been defeated by Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson in the 1800 elections, nominated his own Secretary of State, John Marshall, to serve as Chief Justice of the United States. He took his judicial oath on Feb. 4, 1801.
As a result, Marshall got to preside over Marbury v. Madison, (1803), a case in which he played dual roles as both former Secretary of State and Chief Justice. The ruling in Marbury introduced the doctrine of judicial review - the right of the Court to analyze laws in terms of constitutionality and nullify any that are deemed unconstitutional - and empowered the Judicial branch of government.
Marbury v. Madison, (1803), is arguably the most important decision in the history of the Supreme Court.
