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

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

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