Answer:
A. John Marshall, a federalist supreme court chief justice who was one of John Adam's midnight appointees, decide the ruling of Marbury v Madison case. Marbury wanted his commission from the government while Jefferson and Madison believed he did not have the right to it. During this case, Marshall ruled that parts of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and this led to the judicial branch having the power to review congressional action.
B. John Adams would have supported this ruling because he wanted a federalist judge to offset the democratic-republican president and congress. He had appointed Marshall to hep his view on a strong central government. Thomas Jefferson would have opposed the ruling because it would give the Federalists more power. This contradicted Jefferson's believe that power resides in the states.
