The group most likely to oppose the Marbury v. Madison decision would be the advocates for states’ rights. This landmark Supreme Court case established the principle of judicial review, which increased the power of the federal judiciary and, by extension, the federal government. Advocates for states' rights typically favored limiting federal power and maximizing state authority, making them likely opponents of a decision that enhanced federal judicial authority.
