The origin of the case was somewhat trivial, but had great implications for the role of the Supreme Court in government. Marbury was appointed by John Adams, the president before Madison, as a district judge in Washington DC. When Madison became president, he didn't deliver the papers to finalize Marbury's appointment.

Marbury took him to Court, and although the Court initially sided with Marbury, the court, with John Marshall serving as Chief Justice, ultimately determined that the law that allowed Marbury to take the case to court was not constitutional. This meant that the law was struck down.

This was the first incidence of the Supreme Court exercising judicial review, the review of laws to determine constitutionality and their rejection if they are not, in the history of the United States. It was a landmark case not for the spat between Marbury and Madison over a district judgeship, but because it marked a huge expansion of the power of the Supreme Court (and thus the judicial branch).

We have seen the power of judicial review exercised in many cases since this one, such as Miranda vs Arizona (which established the law that police must read you your 'Miranda Rights' when they arrest you) and Plessy vs Ferguson, which determined that laws governing "seperate but equal" facilities for people of different races were in theory inherently unequal, and in practice clearly offered worse facilities to people of color.

Answer from: baseball1525

The Marbury vs. Madison court cause is significant because this Supreme Court ruling resulted in the power of judicial review.

Further Explanation:

The Marbury vs. Madison case started when William Marbury was not given his appointment to be a federal judge by James Madison. At the time, Madison was Secretary of State for Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson refused to appoint judges like Madison because they were appointed last minute by John Adams (before he left the presidency).

In this ruling, the Supreme Court established that they have the right of judicial review. Judicial review is the idea that the Supreme Court has the power to interpret what exactly the law means. Along with this, the Supreme Court has the power to strike down state or federal laws they deem as unconstitutional. Some of the most important court cases in US history deal with interpreting what constitutional amendments mean. This includes cases like Brown vs. Board of Education which ended school segregation. The ruling in Brown vs. Board focused on the interpretation of the 14th amendment.

By the end of the 1800s, there was a change in the nature of the immigrants coming to the united states. immigration from northern europe—england, ireland, germany, and scandinavia—declined, while immigration from italy, russia, and austria-hungary grew. in fact, between 1900 and 1910, more than three-fourths of all immigrants came from these three countries. unfortunately, these countries were far removed england, the home of our founders, and the immigrants who came from them had a hard time adjusting to life in their new country.
