John Adams, the second President of the United States, is known for several executive orders, but one of the most notable is the appointment of "midnight judges" in 1801. This involved the signing of numerous judicial appointments just before he left office, aiming to ensure Federalist influence in the judiciary. These appointments led to the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison, which established the principle of judicial review. Adams' actions reflected his efforts to maintain Federalist power amid a shifting political landscape.
