how are the cases Marbury vs. Madison and dred scott vs. Sandord related to each other?

Answer 1

In Marbury vs Madison, they found that Congress's Judiciary Act of 1789 was in conflict with Article III of the Constitution, and that Congress did not have the power to modify the Supreme Courts original jurisdiction.
