Thomas Jefferson was primarily concerned that the Supreme Court might have too much power following the decision in Marbury v. Madison. He worried that the establishment of judicial review would allow the Supreme Court to overreach and undermine the authority of the other branches of government, particularly the executive and legislative branches. Jefferson's apprehension centered around the potential for the judiciary to become too dominant in interpreting laws and the Constitution, which could lead to an imbalance of power among the branches of government.
