3. Supreme Court
Many historians, and Supreme Court Justices, argue that the Supreme Court really established its authority during the Marshall Court. In Justice Stevens’ book “Five Chiefs: A Supreme Court Memoir,” he mentions that there are many justices that made their mark on the history of the Court, in their decisions, their writing, their creation of important precedent. Marshall was one such Chief Justice.
