Was the Judiciary Act of 1801 repealed?
No. The Judiciary Act of 1789 extended to the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over all writs of mandamus, a power the Constitution did not specifically enumerate as one of the Court's areas of original jurisdiction. The Supreme Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Marshall, determined a portion of the Act unconstitutional in the landmark decision Marbury v. Madison, (1803).Marshall's ruling was controversial because, in declaring Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional, and refusing to carry out its mandate, he asserted the authority of "judicial review." This allowed the Supreme Court to evaluate Congressional and Presidential acts to determine whether they were constitutional, and to overrule them if they were not. Judicial review enhanced the power of the Court, and strengthened the foundation of the U.S. government's system of checks and balances.In the Judiciary Act of 1801, Congress expanded the federal judicial system by adding more District and Circuit courts, which allowed then-President John Adams to appoint 16 members of his Federalist party to powerful judgeships before he left office. It also reduced the size of the Supreme Court from six Justices to five; however, no vacancies occurred on the Court before Thomas Jefferson's new administration overturned the legislation, so the Supreme Court never had fewer than six Justices.The Judiciary Act of 1801 enhanced John Adam's power in the waning days of his Presidency, but didn't have a long-term effect on the Executive branch, nor did it relate to "judicial review," a power reserved for the head of the Judicial branch of government, the Supreme Court (see the Judiciary Act of 1789). Judicial review is an implied power that is not explicitly stated in the Constitution or in any legislation.
