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 the Constitution.
- Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) — clarified federal control over interstate commerce and limited state interference, reinforcing federal judicial authority.
(Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education were decided long after Marshall’s tenure.)
