Marbury vs. Madison
It started with John Marshall created 16 new federal judgeships and other offices. When these Judges were appointed the republicans were outraged. They said it got rid people which was used to get the federalists out of office. They fought back changing the Judiciary Act of 1801. Madison refused to give a commission to Marbury. Marbury then sued him for not giving it to him. The court decided that Marbury deserved the commission. The court couldn't do anything about it. Marshall changed some things so that the court had a say. They did some things the trial went on for several more months then it was decided that chases crime was that he was not able to control his temper or mouth.
