Case - WILLIAM MARBURY v. JAMES MADISON, SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES 5 U.S. 137; 2 L. Ed. 60; 1803 U.S. LEXIS 352; 1 Cranch 137

Question 1. Write a brief for Marbury v. Madison based on the standards described in the posting titled "How to write a Brief PDF". Your brief needs to take the form of an outline with four labeled sections (Facts, Issues, Holding & Rationale).

Question 2. What makes this case so important that it is required reading for law classes around the country? (Hint its not that James Madison was a founding Father or the issue of the appointment.)

Question 3. Who was the Vice President at the time of the dispute and what action during his term is he most well known for?

Question 4. Law is created for many reasons and one of those is to bind a society together. To create effective and reasonable laws we must have shared experiences. These shared experiences are often times tragic like a terrorist attack but can also be celebratory. When given the chance I like to look at the positive moments. One of the local examples that I can think of took place this past winter. Whether you are a sports fan or not, sports are a major part of our society and the Bills are looking to make a playoff run which will caused euphoria all over Western New York. The camaraderie of the community will be out in full force over even in the cold January weeks but that won't stop people from celebrating communally. Please share a story, either positive or negative that you feel has been compelling for a community, nation or the world, then tell us why you choose it? (Please tell the story in your own words as I do not want an article)
