James Madison and John Marshall
Chief Justice John Marshall, in his opinion in Marbury v. Madison, 5 US (Cranch 1) 137 (1803).
John Marshall managed to set the principle of judicial review.
No. Most people credit the decision in the case Marbury v Madison, 5 US 137 (1803) with establishing the principle of judicial review. James Madison was the respondent (like a defendant) in that case; Chief Justice John Marshall wrote the opinion.
Some believe Marshall's claim that the United States is a nation of law, not a nation of men is inconsistent and contradictory. Marshall's point was that men are arbitrary in their decisions, but a system of laws can be applied uniformly. This seems contradictory to his thesis that laws and the Constitution must be interpreted (by men).Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
