Yes and no. The foundation for Marbury's complaint arose from a judicial appointment John Adams made shortly before leaving office. The complaint itself, as well as the Court ruling, occurred during Thomas Jefferson's administration, because he told Secretary of State James Madison to withhold 12 undelivered commissions from Adams' appointees.

Example of Judicial activism?
Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)Marbury vs Madison is activist in the way the court took action to say that the Constitution overrides laws passed by the congress (legislature). Therefore it turned down a request by Marbury to put him in as a Justice of the Peace because doing so would require the Courts to allow the Congress peremptory power over the Constitution. This was not allowed and is referred to as the start of judicial activism. However it is a complex case (Marbury vs Madison.)For more in-depth information on Marbury v.

What was the real motive behind Marbury v Madison?
This case was really a political case, a case of politics, testing the limits of the new government. Thomas Jefferson called the decision a defeat of the very limitation of powers the constitution was intended for, making the Judiciary the most powerful force in government and the most vulnerable to corruption. The long version is: The Federalists and Republicans were in a fight over control of the government, the federalists were a majority for the first two presidents but lost to the republicans for the third (Thomas Jefferson). The Federalists had stacked the courts, through appointments for life, with federalists (thereby finding a loophole in the constitution), but at least one of these appointments was not delivered (William Marbury's appointment). The court ruled that Marbury's appointment should have been delivered, but also ruled that the act was void to start with. This essentially entrenched the court with life long appointments of political control, a loophole that even today still exists in the Judiciary of the United States because citizens of the United States have no say or control over their appointments for life.
