Question

why did william marbury most likely support the judiciary act of 1789? it allowed marbury to take his case to the supreme court. it overruled james madison and confirmed marburys appointment. it said that james madisons actions were unconstitutional. it limited the constitutions power to affect marburys case.

Explanation:

The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the federal court system. In the Marbury v. Madison case, Marbury wanted his commission (appointment) delivered. The act allowed him to take his case to the Supreme Court as it provided a legal avenue for such disputes. The Supreme Court later in the case (though not because of the act overruling Madison on the appointment - the Court said it couldn't force delivery as per the Constitution) but the act's provision of Supreme Court jurisdiction was what Marbury was relying on initially. The act didn't say Madison's actions were unconstitutional (the Court in Marbury v. Madison did a different analysis), and it didn't limit the Constitution's power.

Answer:

It allowed Marbury to take his case to the Supreme Court.
