Answer:

The Marbury vs Madison is important as due to this case US supreme court established the principle of judicial review. Judicial review means that legislative and executive acts can be declared unconstitutional. The origination of this case was the ideological rivalry between Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams. It was decided by the supreme court that it can decide if something is unconstitutional.
