{{italic title}}'''Marbury v. Madison''' is a famous [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] case that first established [[judicial review]] in the [[United States]].

Following the election of 1800, [[Thomas Jefferson]], a [[Democratic-Republican Party|Democratic-Republican]], was elected [[President of the United States]]. During his time as a [[lame duck]] (after losing the re-election but before leaving office), outgoing President [[John Adams]], a member of the [[Federalist Party]], started giving other Federalists jobs as judges (two types: Circuit Judges and Justices of the Peace).  His party was losing power, but by making Federalists judges that would serve for life, Adams was trying to keep Jefferson and his party from changing things too much. 

All the new judges were approved by the [[United States Senate|Senate]].  [[Secretary of State]] [[James Madisonohn Marshall]] now had to deliver each judge the document (called a commission) that said he had the judge job. (This is like giving a student a [[diploma]] when he finishes school.) Madisonrshall delivered most of them, but not all as time ran out.  He thought the new Secretary of State would deliver them, because even though the new office holders did not want the new judges,  the new judges were given their jobs legally.  However, President Jefferson made sure the commissions were not delivered. He thought that they would become void if they were not delivered in time.
