The court case of Marbury v. Madison was significant because it showed that the Constitution is the highest law and that courts can reject laws that conflict with it. This specific case established the principle of judicial review. This elevated the power of the Supreme Court by making it the final interpreter of the Constitution and giving it the authority to overrule Congress and the President.
