Question

how was john Marshall interpretation of the constitution different from Thomas Jefferson's

Answer 1

John Marshall argues that the Supreme Court ought to have the authority to determine the constitutionality of laws which come before the court. Since the judges must apply the laws to particular cases, they must necessarily “expound and interpret” those laws.

Answer 2

Jefferson instead recommends that each department be truly independent of the others and have the right to decide for itself the Constitution’s meaning in cases submitted to its action-especially in those cases where it is to act ultimately and without appeal.
