The Marshall Court

Although judicial review is a carryover from British common law and in use well before the United States had a Supreme Court (and thereafter, before the Marbury v. Madison case), the Marshall Court is generally credited with establishing the legitimacy of its use in the new federal government. Fourth Chief Justice John Marshall claimed the right of judicial review for the Judicial Branch of government in his opinion for Marbury v. Madison, (1803).
