The decision in Marbury v. Madison affirmed the court's right of judicial review, the power of the federal judiciary to evaluate laws, executive orders, treaties, and policies relevant to a case before the court to determine if the law (etc.) was constitutional. Unconstitutional laws (etc.) could be nullified and rendered unenforceable. This strengthened the Judicial Branch and created an important check on the power of the Executive and Legislative Branches, under the government's system of checks and balances.
