Marbury Vs. Madison (jan 1, 1803 – dec 31, 1803)
Description:
At the end of this case, people realized that the Judiciary Act wasn't working the way that they had previously thought. When people applied for a spot in the Judicial system, they are later given their commission which stated whether or not they got the job. Marbury got the job he wanted but was still not given his commission, always delivered by James Madison. At the end of the case, James Madison was found to be found guilty of not delivering any commissions and was told that it was imperative. And his actions were deemed unconstitutional.
