The Supreme Court has not always held such an authoritative presence in the country, but rather was founded with humble beginnings; starting in the stuffy basement of the Capitol building. The Branch was not respected within the newfound land of the United States, in fact, the only statement of the court in the Constitution was that "There will be a Supreme Court."
Many were invited, and many rejected the offers of the positions in the newfound Supreme Court. The Supreme Court only gained its authority through the court case Marbury v. Madison, when Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall voted in favor of Madison, yet remained a firm grip upon the federalist stronghold by declaring that no action may be authorized outside of the constitution. This action by Marshall gained a foothold for the Supreme Court's authority and this decision was responsible for its recognition.
Throughout the last two centuries, our federal court has faced several tribulations such as dealing with inequalities of races and freedom of speech. Yet with the enactment of the 14th amendment, the court's decision brought a new era of liberties for the American people - this act of viewing all peoples as equal, has influenced the civil rights movements from then and to present day.
Each new court has grown from the mistakes of justice's pasts, and they have developed into a more profound and pristine leader-head which keeps a powerful grip upon the checks and balances system between the branches of government.
Throughout this nations' trial and errors, our justice system has grown into a harvest of lessons learned and liberties received.
