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 marbury’s appointment.
○ it said that james madison’s actions were unconstitutional.
○ it limited the constitution’s power to affect marbury’s case.

Explanation:

The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the federal court system and gave the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in certain cases. William Marbury's case (Marbury v. Madison) involved his claim to a judicial appointment. The Act allowed him to take his case to the Supreme Court, which is why he would support it. The other options are incorrect: the Act didn't overrule Madison or confirm the appointment, the decision (not the Act) addressed Madison's actions' constitutionality, and the Act didn't limit the Constitution's power over the case.

Answer:

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