John Marshall (1755-1835) was one of the most influential Supreme Court justices in the history of the court. Marshall wrote the landmark opinion in Marbury v. Madison which established the Supreme Court as having the power to review the legality of congression actions. Marshall also defined the boundaries of the necessary and proper clause of the Constitution and concluded that business monopolies were unconstitutional.
