Summary: Important Legal History
Comment: Marbury v. Madison is a case that every law student knows and that very few people understand. Although modern legal discourse focuses on cases that decide social issues like racial preferences, abortion, and gay rights, none of these cases are as important as Marbury. The reason for this is simple - - unless Justice Marshall had established that it was the exclusive province of the judiciary to determine the constitutionality of legislation, none of the important social issues would be decided in the courts. They would be decided in the legislature or in the executive.
Mr. Nelson does a nice job of tracing the history that gave rise to judicial review and explaining how judicial review has become the primary place where many of our social problems are resolved. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in why 9 people in black robes may be the most powerful people in the United States, even though you rarely see them and most citizens don't know their names.
