Under John Marshall, the Supreme Court famously expanded the Court's role in the case Marbury v. Madison.

In Marbury v. Madison, Marshall articulated the doctrine of judicial review by which the Supreme Court had the duty and obligation to review the actions of the executive and legislative branches to determine if they were acting within the bounds of the Constitution.
