What is the significance of john marshall ruling in marbury vs madison? provide examples of the impact of this ruling.

The ruling in Marbury vs. Madison is significant because it implemented the concept of judicial review into our government structure.

Judicial Review essentially gives the Supreme Court the power to interpret the Constitution. This means that the federal government can check the power of the legislative and executive branch by ruling on whether laws are constitutional (legal) or unconstitutional (illegal).

For example, the Supreme Court ruled in the famous court case Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) that "separate but equal" schools for black and white students was unconstitutional. The judges argued that these types of states laws violated the 14th amendment rights guaranteed under the equal protection clause. This is one of many cases where the Supreme Court interpreted the constitution in order to fit modern standards.
