Answer:

It established the precedent of Judicial Review

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the court's job was to decide if the midnight judges would get their pension despite the shift in power, it estblished judicial review which allowed the supreme court judges to rely on the constituion to judge the legislative or exectutive branches actions. This contributes to checks and balances, giving more power to the judiciary.
