Discuss the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803) with your classmates. First, in one to two paragraphs using appropriate legal terminology, discuss the background, participants, and historical importance of the case. Next, in one to two paragraphs, identify at least two ways in which the Court’s decision in Marbury has affected the authority and power of the Supreme Court in contemporary society. Finally, in responding to your peers’ posts, consider whether there may be limitations upon the Court’s power or if it can still be referred to as “the least dangerous branch” of American government, as Alexander Hamilton argued.
