John Marshall

    1 janvier 1952

    John Marshall était un homme d'État et un juriste américain qui a façonné le droit constitutionnel américain, faisant de la Cour suprême un centre de pouvoir. Marshall a dominé la Cour pendant plus de trois décennies et a joué un rôle important dans le développement du système juridique américain. Il a notamment établi le droit de contrôle de constitutionnalité, le pouvoir d'annuler les lois qui violent la Constitution. Marshall a ainsi cimenté la position du pouvoir judiciaire en tant que branche indépendante et influente du gouvernement. De plus, il a pris plusieurs décisions importantes relatives au fédéralisme, façonnant l'équilibre des pouvoirs entre le gouvernement fédéral et les États dans les premières années de la république.
