He refused to honor an appointment made by a previous presidential administration.

The appointment of Marbury was made by John Adams at the end of his presidency but the appointment had to be confirmed by Congress. Senate approved the appointments but the Secretary of State has to deliever the confirmation documents. Madison refused to deliver the confirmation documents. Marbury therefore not giving him the job he believed he was owed.

Marbury v. Madison is an essential court case setting precedent for the Supreme Court in the US. The Court ruled they were unable to force the Secretary of State to deliver the confirmation documents because they were unable to rule on such a case. They agreed Madison was breaking the law but they were not allowed to hear this particular case and Marbury should not have been able to file it. However, the Marshall Court took the opportunity to explain the Court's position in relation to Congress. The Court stated they have the power for judicial review which allows them to review legislation for constitutionality but they are not allowed to interfere in the work of Congress.

background

early european explorers to the americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. written and pictorial records attributed to europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. impressions of natives as well as native impressions of europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.

centuries of ignorance, prejudice, and opinions lacking evidence or scholarly research have tainted traditional views of the earliest meetings between native americans (first nations in canada) and europeans. students may come to recognize how the later period of continued exploration, settlement, and interaction was influenced by these early encounters from the st. lawrence river to georgia.
