It has been often said that A"an institution is lengthened by the shadow of one man.A" This is certainly true of John Marshall, who established the Supreme Court, made the judiciary a co-equal branch of government, and served as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1801A–1835. Why did Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall become such great antagonists? John Marshall was interested in doing whatever it would take to make the United States successful. Marshall believed in an ordered society. Jefferson, more a philosopher and a romantic, was interested in ideas rather than order. In this book a legal expert discusses the battles over the judiciary between Chief Justice John Marshall and President Thomas Jefferson during the Jefferson Presidency. The focus is on the treason trial of Aaron Burr and the story interweaves conflicts over the Judiciary Acts, Marbury v. Madison, and impeachment. President Jefferson is seen in far different light than usual.
