The Judicial Branch was strengthened by the decision in Marybury v. Madison, (1803) because it issued a very narrow ruling that appeared to give the Jefferson administration what it wanted, but accomplished this feat by using and expounding upon the Judicial Branch's right of judicial review.
Judicial review is a concept that has its roots in British common law and was also widely practiced in the United States' courts before the Constitution was ratified. This power allows a court to evaluate the constitutionality of laws, executive orders, policies or treaties relevant to a case under consideration, and to render an offending law or other action unconstitutional, nullify it, and make it unenforceable.
While Jefferson was furious with the outcome of the case, he had little means of fighting the decision because it had given him the outcome he wanted, but at the expense of seeing the Supreme Court establish itself as head of a co-equal branch of government with the ability to exercise an important check on the other two branches of government.
