Rae ! Judge Marbury wanted his job he just did not get it because Supreme Court could not order to the new President to hire this guy, because separation of powers and even though there was a law that ordered supreme court to decide about it, they considered that law unconstitutional because separation of powers is mandatory by the constitution
It's a little complicated. The court ruled that based on the Constitution, Congress attempted to give the court powers that it shouldn't have. It did not have the power to compel the president to give Marshall his job. The power to rule laws unconstitutional was NOT one of the powers given to the Supreme Court, so by declaring a law unconstitutional anyway, the court was in effect taking the power of judicial review for itself.
In times of Corona, the courses still go on online... So, we get in touch with Marbury v. Madison, in online class. Thanks youtube, to explain the case in a funny, clear way. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you for this video I’m taking notes and from the book I just didn’t understand what was going on and what commission were and it was all confusing with words I didn’t know so thank u for helping me understand !!
There’s two big takeaways from this case: 1. By ruling that the Judiciary Act gave the Court powers not granted by the Constitution and therefore was unconstitutional, Marshall himself acted outside the scope of the Constitution, because reviewing or interpreting a law (this is what Judicial Review is) was not an express power given to the courts under Article III. Now because of Marbury v. Madison, it is an implied power. 2. The second takeaway is Marshall upholding the Constitution instead of ruling in favor of his Federalist buddies.
Your first point is not entirely true. According to Article 6 of the constitution, legislators and judges must obey the constitution. Marshall pointed out that the legislators violated this
I know this post is 2 yrs ago but I want to respond to it anyway. Your second point is a bit of an overgeneralization. Historians believed that Marshall wanted to rule in favor of his Federalist buddies but thought that Jefferson would have simply ignored his writ, making the Court looks toothless. He played the long game. By giving Jefferson the technical win, he basically pushed Jefferson to accept the ruling, even though judicial review ended up aligning more with the Federalist ideology in the long run.
The first line in this video made me chuckle a little because I'm currently in my first year in law school and I've already had 3 professors yell at us that Marbury is not nearly as important a case as it is often said to be, and that it's not even the most important judicial event of 1803--that would be the Louisiana Purchase.
Here for political science final ...wish me luck guys politics are not my strong suit. This video helps so much with the questions I have regarding the case. Bless you guys ❤️
Here because of the medius touch yt channel. I wish my life was taught in high school and even middle school because there are so many things that people need to know by the time they're adults.
It would have violated the separation of powers and things would really be a mess today if it had gone the other way. This was a very important precedent that secured a part of our democracy and Constitution.
That’s crazy. I always knew it established judicial review, the courts strongest power, but… I never knew that the reason was because Marshall had ruled that the court didn’t have the power to rule in this case. So by limiting the supreme courts power in this case, and taking away the powers granted by the judiciary act of 1789, he ended up giving the court its strongest power. Ironic
Okay. I still don't get it. What was so important about this case? I get what happened and why it happened. But I fail to see why this case has become so important.
Anyone else have problems with the "volume" on their videos? I have it turned up to 100% and it's still hard to hear (has to be absolutely silent in the classroom...not a single rustle of paper, LOL!) 😕
Bro, I am a freshman in high school and I have my first AP US Gov test tomorrow, and I am so freaking confused on everything. I have no clue how I got in that class 🥲.
If you don't wanna watch the whole video: Jefferson had beaten Adams in the election and before he left office, Adams had to fill the last job openings for the Supreme Court judges, but had the help of Madison to keep the commissions from being delivered, keeping the judges waiting. Marbury found out, and he wanted the court to force him to say why his commission for becoming a judge wasn’t being delivered. Madison won because the Court did not listen to Marbury, and said that Madison was not forced to give Marbury his commission. They had that power at that time due to the act of 1789.
I'm here from all the roe v wade hysteria but this is a great video explaining the abstract and fundamental implications of this ruling. Who knew how compelling us history could be?
I’m in the exact same situation lmao, my entire class worships this guy and we’re trying to find out who he is. If your class happens to find anything mine would love that!
Why does nobody discuss the fact that Chief Justice Marshall should have recused himself from the case? Marshall was the guy who created the controversy in this case in the first place! Marshall was the guy who was supposed to deliver the commission to Marbury while he was simultaneously serving as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Secretary of State for the United States! He's the guy that left the commissions on his desk for Madison to find!
Well, I guess he was totally against what the previous president did, otherwise he would deliver the commission before the new president step in. Then, he still had a chance to do something in favor of federalists of the previous government. (I liked what he did)
@@Sahar-Ahmadi No, that's not what happened. He absolutely was for what Adams wanted. The problem was everything happened at the last minute, hence the term "Midnight Judges" so a lot of things were rushed. There were a TON of judge commission he had to deliver. They didn't have ways to make communication quick back then so things often slipped through. Marbury's commission was one of the ones that were left on the table in the State Department in all the chaos, likely by sheer accident. Govt even in the modern day can make a mess of things too with misfiling or documenting mistakes. He ended up ruling against Marbury to solve a political problem. He knew that if he ruled totally in favor of Madison, it would be giving a win to the anti-Federalists. He knew that if he ruled totally in favor of Marbury, Jefferson and Madison would ignore it, making SCOTUS look toothless. So he ended up crafting a result that would get Jefferson to accept it but also allowed the Court to maintain its power. This actually was in line with Federalist ideology, so he basically gave Madison/Jefferson the short term win but gave the Federalists the long-term win. Jefferson had disagreed with judicial review but begrudgingly accepted it because he got the technical victory and didn't want to push it. So if someone whines about SCOTUS being political in the modern day, just remember that SCOTUS has been political ever since at least this case and yet continues to derive its power from it.
0:04 = The most important case in the supreme court? Why? What other cases/decisions were important? Note: I'm neither a history buff nor a current student.
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka - Supreme Court outlaws segregation in public schools and also overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine which held that if facilities for both races were equal, they could be separate. McCullough v. Maryland - the Court declared that states could not hamper the exercise of legitimate public interests. Introduced the "necessary and proper clause" which gave the federal government the ultimate authority over individual states
In case you wanted to know, Marbury never did get his commision.
thank you
RIP Marbury

Extra is not normally bad, but I wonder what he considers extra

Excellent video
In the 10+ years before Marbury did the Court NOT engage in judicial review of the other two branches of government?
If you don't wanna watch the whole video:
Jefferson had beaten Adams in the election and before he left office, Adams had to fill the last job openings for the Supreme Court judges, but had the help of Madison to keep the commissions from being delivered, keeping the judges waiting.

Too bad this case has had almost no affect. The overwhelming majority of laws on the books are repugnant to the constitution
In hindsight, President John Adams should have issued an Executive Order to ensure Marbury received his commission.

Why? What other cases/decisions were important?
Note: I'm neither a history buff nor a current student.
MaxPro gave the court the ability of judicial review. This ability means it can declare laws unconstitutional or constitutional.
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka - Supreme Court outlaws segregation in public schools and also overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine which held that if facilities for both races were equal, they could be separate.
McCullough v. Maryland - the Court declared that states could not hamper the exercise of legitimate public interests. Introduced the "necessary and proper clause" which gave the federal government the ultimate authority over individual states
It screwed up America, that's why it's so important.
June Benedict Penolio Those definitely were important but SCOTUS couldn't hand those decisions down without judicial review
