MARBURY V. MADISON (1803) LEGAL ISSUES
The Court considered the following questions:
- Does Marbury have a right to his commission as a Justice of the Peace for the District of Columbia?
- If he has that right, and that right has been violated, do the laws of the United States afford him a remedy?
- If the laws of the United States do afford him a remedy, is that remedy a writ of mandamus issued by this Court?
