U.S. History Questions?

Question

1. List the major accomplishments of Jefferson's presidency and the significance of each.

2. Why was Marbury v. Madison such an important case?

Answer 1

As to 2. in your questions is that M v. M established that the U.S. Supreme Court has the right to decide if a law is constitutional. More importantly, it led to the fact that the constitution takes priority over laws. By doing that, it made the Supreme Court a co-equal branch with the legislative and executive branch.

As to 1. the two I would say, the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark expedition, and the first Barbary pirate war.
