The Marshall Court gathers the justices who served under Chief Justice John Marshall from 1801 to 1835, the thirty-four-year tenure that established judicial review in Marbury v. Madison and cemented the Supreme Court's authority to interpret the Constitution, define the scope of federal power over interstate commerce, and protect contracts from state impairment. This era transformed the Court from a minor branch into a coequal power in American government.
