Marbury vs. Madison Comic
Текст Раскадровки
- Oh no, Jefferson won the presidency... If only there was a way I could keep the power of my faithful Federalists in office .
-
- Yes! I will order John Marshall to deliver these commissions to 59 of my most trusted Federalist allies...
- Dear Mr. MarburyYou've been appointed as justice of the peace for the Supreme Court. You will begin immediately to ensure that Federalists remain strong.Signed, John Adams
- We could try to get that stingy Jefferson to cooperate,but there's no way he'll allow Madison to finish the job. SURELY THERE IS A PATH TO SUCCESS!
- I'm sorry, Mr. Adams, I couldn't deliver 17 of them... Is there no way for the Federalists to maintain some kind of power in this Democratic-Republican environment?
- Marbury's house
- What is this treason, Marshall? I totally deserve to become justice of the peace, I will stand for Madison's beliefs until the day I die! I'm going to ask the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus!
- I don't know about that.... as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, I have a lot of power, but it could cause problems between the executive and judicial branches.
- So just because you didn't deliver a few papers in time, I can't get the job my President offered me??
- I'm afraid not. Although it is a tough pill to swallow, this case taught us the importance of judicial review.
- Well, I'm sorry, Marbury. As a devout Federalist, I want to give you your job, but I'm afraid it's unconstitutional.
- Although Madison triumphed over Marbury, the Democratic-Republican government learned a valuable lesson about the Supreme Court's ablities and judicial review, which is still important today.
- Stupid Supreme Court! Stupid Constitutional rules! The one thing I wanted was to become justice of the peace, and because of your utter incompetence, I can't!
- This states that when dealing with matters of the law, the Supreme Court decides whether they are "legal" according to the Constitution.
- The End
