Question

Which of the following is true about Chief Justice John Marshall?

Answer 1

Since you didn't supply answer options, I'll simply list some facts about the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.

• The approval process for the chief justice is the same as it is for the associate justices. As stated in Article II of the Constitution, the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Judges of the Supreme Court."
• Chief justices are sworn in by the outgoing chief justices. (That's different from associate justices, who are sworn in by the current chief justice or one of the other associate justices.)
• John Jay was the first chief justice of the Supreme Court, serving from 1789 to 1795.
• John Roberts is the current chief justice of the Supreme Court. He was appointed by Pres. George W. Bush and began his service in 2005.
• There have been 17 chief justices in the history of the Supreme Court, from its establishment in 1789 to the present.
• In 1789, the chief justice's salary was $4,000. As of 2018, the chief justice's salary stands at $267,000.

Answer 2

He believes that federal laws were higher than state laws. Marshall continued to stress this throughout his career. Apart from that, he also built up the judiciary as an influential branch of government. He was also the longest serving justice and the fourth Chief Justice to have served the longest in the Supreme Court.
