John Marshall a profondément façonné le droit constitutionnel américain, transformant la Cour suprême en un puissant centre d'autorité judiciaire. En tant que président de la Cour suprême, il a dominé le tribunal pendant plus de trois décennies, contribuant de manière significative au développement du système juridique américain. Il a établi le principe du contrôle de constitutionnalité, donnant aux tribunaux le pouvoir d'invalider les lois contraires à la Constitution et consolidant le rôle du pouvoir judiciaire en tant que branche indépendante. Les décisions historiques de Marshall sur le fédéralisme ont également défini l'équilibre des pouvoirs entre le gouvernement fédéral et les États, affirmant constamment la suprématie de la loi fédérale.
