The points that Marshall addressed in Marbury v. Madison were: | Marbury was entitled to his commission; the Pres. was to see that the commission was delievered to Marbury; Court coult not issue a mandamus |
The Judiciary Clause that authorizes the S. Court to issue a mandamus was unconstitutional because: | a)this clause enlarged the original jurisdiction of the S. Court; clause violated the separate of power principle |
Judicial review | (established by Marbury v. Madison) ruled that a law of Congress was unconstitutional |
