Hey mate,.

=>Marbury sued James Madison BECAUSE JAMES REFUSED TO HAND OVER HIS COMMISSION TO HIM.

President John Adams appointed some people as justice of peace just before he existed office and Marbury happened to be one of these people. When the new president came in [Thomas Jefferson], he refused to recognize these people and he instructed his sectary of state, who happened to be James Madison to hold back from giving the appointed people their commissions.

=>The commission represents the evidence that these people have been appointed by the president. Due to this, Marbury sued James by taking the case to the supreme court.

Hope it will help you.

◆ Marbury sued in what would become a very important case that defined the purpose of the Supreme Court.

◆ James Madison, the new secretary of state has been sued by William Marbury a passionate federalist and an appointed committee for justice of the peace because he wanted to acquire his task and assignment, but the supreme court doesn’t have any power to harass and force James Madison to deliver the commission.
