In Marbury v Madison, John Marshall established that the Supreme Court had the last word in _____ the Constitution.

Thank you but it's wrong lol! @Mike1015
oh dang im sorry
@Mike1015 is not a good answer guy dont support him.
At the end of his term, President John Adams appointed William Marbury as justice of the peace for the District of Columbia. The Secretary of State, John Marshall (the same person who later became Chief Justice) failed to deliver the commission to Marbury and left that task to the new Secretary of State, James Madison. Upon his inauguration, Adams’ political enemy, Thomas Jefferson told Madison not to deliver the commissions because he did not want supporters of Adams working in his new government. Marbury filed suit and asked the Supreme Court to issue a writ of mandamus, or a court order which would require Madison to deliver the commission to Marbury.
