Marbury v. Madison
McCulloch v. Maryland
Gibbons v. Ogden
Brief reasons:
- 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, strengthening the Court’s role in interpreting federal vs. state authority.
- Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) expanded federal power under the Commerce Clause and reinforced the Court’s role in resolving interstate federal-state disputes.
Brown v. Board of Education and Plessy v. Ferguson were decided long after Marshall’s tenure.
