Marbury v. Madison, McCulloch v. Maryland, and Gibbons v. Ogden.

- Marbury v. Madison (1803) — established judicial review, giving the Court the power to declare laws unconstitutional.
- McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) — affirmed federal supremacy and implied powers, strengthening the Court’s role in interpreting federal authority.
- Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) — clarified federal control over interstate commerce and reinforced the Court’s role in resolving conflicts between state and federal power.

Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education were decided long after Marshall’s tenure.
