John Marshall moldeó profundamente el derecho constitucional estadounidense, transformando la Corte Suprema en un poderoso centro de autoridad judicial. Como Presidente de la Corte Suprema, dominó el tribunal durante más de tres décadas, contribuyendo significativamente al desarrollo del sistema legal estadounidense. Estableció el principio de revisión judicial, facultando a los tribunales para invalidar leyes que contravinieran la Constitución y consolidando el papel del poder judicial como una rama independiente.
