William Marbury filed a lawsuit against James Madison, the Secretary of State, in response to Madison's refusal to deliver his commission as a justice of the peace, which had been signed by President John Adams. Marbury sought a writ of mandamus from the Supreme Court to compel Madison to deliver the commission. This case ultimately led to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Marbury v. Madison (1803), which established the principle of judicial review, allowing the Court to declare laws unconstitutional.
