John Francis Marshall

    1. leden 1952

    John Marshall byl americký státník a právník, který formoval americké ústavní právo a učinil z Nejvyššího soudu centrum moci. Po více než tři desetiletí dominoval Marshall soudu a hrál významnou roli ve vývoji amerického právního systému. Nejvýznamněji zavedl právo soudního přezkumu, tedy pravomoc rušit zákony, které porušují ústavu. Marshall tak upevnil postavení soudnictví jako nezávislé a vlivné složky vlády. Kromě toho učinil několik důležitých rozhodnutí týkajících se federalismu, čímž formoval rovnováhu moci mezi federální vládou a státy v raných letech republiky.
