Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison
The Act enlarged the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, which can only be done by changing the Constitution.
Marshall asserts that it is the duty of the court to uphold the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. When a law is found to be repugnant to the Constitution, the court must declare it void and refuse to enforce it. This principle reinforces the judiciary's role in interpreting the law and ensuring that legislative actions comply with constitutional standards. Ultimately, the Constitution serves as a safeguard against legislative overreach.
