Did Marbury v. Madision establish the Judiciary review for only federal statutes or both state and federal?

Answer 1

Both, it set the foundation that the U.S. Supreme Court makes the final determination on what is or is not constitutional under the U.S. Constitution.

Answer 2

Marbury vs. Madison established the judicial review for both state and federal statutes that conflicts with the constitution. The Supreme Court has the power to invalidate any law made by Legislature that is in conflict with the constitution which is the basic law where all statutes must conform.

Answer 3

It appears that Marbury vs Madison deals with the Supreme Court the arbiter of the Constitution, the final authority on what the document meant. So it would appear that any matter state or federal that deals with the Constitution falls under Supreme Court domain. Hope that helps some......

The critical importance of Marbury is the assumption of several powers by the Supreme Court.The critical importance of Marbury is the assumption of several powers by the Supreme Court. One was the authority to declare acts of Congress, and by implication acts of the president, unconstitutional if they exceeded the powers granted by the Constitution. But even more important, the Court became the arbiter of the Constitution, the final authority on what the document meant. As such, the Supreme Court became in fact as well as in theory an equal partner in government, and it has played that role ever since.

Answer 4

The issue in Marbury was limited to only a federal statute. But even before Marbury, in Calder v. Bull, the Court had already established that it MAY review state legislation. In the latter case, the Court did not invalidate the law, but the Justices appeared to be united in theory that they MAY strike down state legislation.
