6. -A Federal Judge’s term of office is Retire/Expire
The United States Supreme Court under John Marshall (Marshall served as Chief Justice from 1801 to 1835)
-A Federal Judge’s term of office is Retire/Expire
-The Framers of the Constitution wanted to insulate Judges from politics in order to make sure that Judges would focus on the law and not popular appeal.
What is the term of office for a Federal Judge (Article 3), and why is it different than the tenure of office for the other two branches of government?

7. Marbury v. Madison (1803) John Adams’ Midnight Appointments
Adams, as a lame duck president, appointed several new judges on the eve of Jefferson’s inauguration
The most famous appointment was John Marshall to Chief Justice.
William Marbury was appointed to a lower federal court.
Marbury’s appointment was not delivered before the change of presidential administration.
The new Jefferson administration refused to honor the appointment.
Marbury appealed to the S.C. to secure his judgeship.

8. Marbury v. Madison (1803) John Adams’ Midnight Appointments
Marbury believed that CJ Marshall would grant him the judgeship because they were both federalists.
Jefferson refused to grant the judgeship regardless of what the SC said.
Fearing a constitutional crisis, Marshall sacrificed Marbury and carved out a new power for the Supreme Court.
Marshall & the SC declared the portion of the law that granted Marbury his judgeship UNCONSTITIONAL, Marbury was denied his judgeship, but the SC gained the power of JUDICIAL REVIEW

9. John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison
Judicial Review gives the S.C.
the Power
to declare an act of
Congress
or the President
Unconstitutional
It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is…Thus the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void…
John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison

10. McCulloch v Maryland
"The POWER to tax
is the POWER to destroy"
John Marshall
The state of Maryland attempted to tax a federal bank.
At issue in this case was the supremacy of the federal government v States Rights.
The Court nullified Maryland’s state law & established the supremacy of the federal government.

11. Gibbons v Ogden
At issue in this case was whether or not the State of New York had the legal authority to grant one steamship company a contract on an interstate waterway.
The Court clarified Federal authority over interstate commerce when it nullified New York State’s law.
Federal law is Supreme over State Law.

12. Conclusion
How did the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall’s leadership change American Government?
The Marshall court established the power of Judicial Review (Unwritten Constitution)
Strengthened the Supreme Court (Checks & balances-Declaring laws unconstitutional)
Strengthened the power of the Federal Government over the States (Federal Supremacy)

13. Conclusion
The Marshall Court had a great impact on American society. Under Marshall the Supreme Court strengthened the authority of the Federal Government as well as the power of the Supreme Court.

26. Learning Log
Which of the Supreme Court cases discussed in class today do you think had the greatest impact on the development of U.S. Government?
Explain your choice!

27. Procedures
Divide into five groups each group take one of the following Supreme Court cases featured in the video: Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District (1969); Texas v. Johnson (1989); Miranda v. Arizona (1966); Board of Education of Westside Community Schools v. Mergens (1990).  
Review the case assigned- Remember that the Supreme Court can find state and other laws to be constitutional or in violation of the U.S. Bill of Rights, in which case it may overturn them.  

28. 1. In Texas v. Johnson, the Supreme Court held that Johnson's conviction for flag desecration was inconsistent with the First Amendment
2. Tinker v. Des Moines involved three public school students who were suspended from school for wearing black armbands to protest the government's policy in Vietnam.
3. Miranda v. Arizona upheld safeguards that ensure that a person who has been taken into custody may not be deprived of the Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination.
4. At the end of President John Adams’ term, his Secretary of State failed to deliver documents commissioning William Marbury as Justice of the Peace in the District of Columbia.  Once President Thomas Jefferson was sworn in, in order to keep members of the opposing political party from taking office, he told James Madison, his Secretary of State, to not deliver the documents to Marbury.  Marbury then sued James Madison asking the Supreme Court to issue a writ requiring him to deliver the documents necessary to officially make Marbury Justice of the Peace. The Marbury v. Madison decision resulted in establishment of the concept of judicial review.
