John Marshall

    January 1, 1952

    John Marshall was an American statesman and jurist who profoundly shaped American constitutional law, transforming the Supreme Court into a significant center of governmental power. For over three decades, Marshall dominated the Court, playing a pivotal role in the evolution of the American legal system. Most notably, he established the principle of judicial review, empowering courts to strike down laws deemed unconstitutional. This cemented the judiciary's position as an independent and influential branch of government. Furthermore, his landmark decisions on federalism defined the balance of power between the federal government and the states in the republic's crucial early years, consistently affirming federal law's supremacy.
