John Marshall: Citizen, Statesman, Jurist

The size and shape of American government is due in no small part to Chief Justice John Marshall. This biography focuses on his contribution to the status of the Supreme Court, his implementation of judicial review, and his advocacy of strong central authority for the protection of the new nation and its ideals. Outlining Marshall’s youth on the Virginia frontier, the program describes his service in Washington’s army, his early law career, and his eventual appointment to Chief Justice. Discussions of major Marshall decisions, including Marbury v. Madison, Worcester v. Georgia, and Boyce v. Anderson, clearly demonstrate his progressive leanings. (57 minutes)
