    John Marshall was the fourth Chief Justice of the United States whose Supreme Court was responsible for landmark decisions that greatly changed the judiciary branch. The Marshall Court established the judiciary as a coequal branch with legislative and executive branches, created the power of judicial review to declare laws unconstitutional, and granted more power to the national government over the states. These decisions by the Marshall Court helped lay the groundwork for a strong national government and shaped the judiciary branch into what it is today.
