- Summary:
- Not only was John Marshall one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, what he did as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was not just significant, but the glue that held the union together after the original founding days. When Marshall took it over, the judiciary was considered not very important at all. By the time Marshall left, the judiciary was considered co-equal to the other branches of the federal government.
