What did President Thomas Jefferson do about Marbury's commission?
President Thomas Jefferson told his Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver William Marbury’s official commission papers, so Marbury never got the job. Jefferson did this because he wanted to stop the outgoing president’s last-minute Federalist judges from taking office.
What did Marbury do about Jefferson's actions?
Marbury sued and asked the Supreme Court to order Madison to give him the commission, using a legal request called a writ of mandamus. His lawsuit became the famous Marbury v. Madison case, which led the Court to say it could decide if laws agree with the Constitution.
