US Supreme Court Justice
Exhibition Label: Born Prince William (now Fauquier) County, Virginia
John Marshall, the fourth chief justice of the United States, strengthened the idea of an independent federal judiciary. Additionally, he established the concept of judicial review, in which the Supreme Court could pronounce a law of Congress as unconstitutional.
In cases brought to the Court between 1810 and 1824—years in which the Marshall Court enjoyed great stability and harmony—Marshall used the Court’s judicial review to nullify state laws violating constitutional restraints of state power. The effect of Marshall’s long tenure as chief justice (1801–35) was to strengthen the Court, the Constitution, and the federal government. The Court became a preeminent interpreter of the Constitution, and the federal government’s enumerated powers were given a broad interpretation, making it superior to those of the states.
Cephas Thompson painted a portrait of Marshall from life in Richmond, Virginia, as well as six replicas for admirers.
Nacido en Prince William (hoy Fauquier) County, Virginia
John Marshall, cuarto juez presidente del Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos, reforzó la idea de un sistema judicial independiente. Estableció también el concepto de la revisión judicial, según el cual el Tribunal Supremo puede declarar inconstitucional una ley aprobada por el Congreso.
En casos vistos por el Tribunal entre 1810 y 1824 (años de gran estabilidad y armonía en dicho cuerpo), Marshall empleó la revisión judicial para anular leyes estatales que violaban las restricciones constitucionales del poder de los estados. Su largo término como juez presidente (1801–35) tuvo el efecto de fortalecer el Tribunal, la Constitución y el gobierno federal. El Tribunal Supremo se convirtió en intérprete preeminente de la Constitución, y su amplia interpretación de los poderes explícitos del gobierno federal les dio primacía sobre los estatales.
Cephas Thompson pintó del natural un retrato de Marshall en Richmond, Virginia, además de seis copias para admiradores.

OF THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE BODY. 437
picted on this face seems, at the same time, moderated by wisdom, and by a modesty exempt from pretension. It is a noble boldness; it does not suffer itself to be carried down the stream of passion, but is calm, because it has the consciousness of its own energy.

INDÉPENDANCE DES ÉTATS-UNIS.
Le 4 Juillet 1776, les Treize Colonies Confédérées (connues depuis sous le nom d'Etats-Unis) sont déclarées, par le Congrès, libres et indépendantes. N. Gerard, porteur des pouvoirs de LOUIS XVI, Roi de France, Benjamin Franklin, pour les États-Unis, signent à Paris, le 6 Février 1777, un Traité d'amitié et de commerce , et un Traité d'alliance éventuelle, mis en vigueur par la déclaration de guerre survenue entre la France et l'Angleterre.
Le Comte d'Estaing, le Marquis de la Fayette, le Comte de Rochambeau, &c. combattent pour la cause des Américains, soutenue avec tant de gloire par le Général Washington. Capitulation faite le 19 Octobre 1782 par le Lord Cornwallis, dont le
désastre accélère la Paix. L'indépendance des États-Unis est reconnue par les Traités de Paix . Pénétrés de reconnaissance pour les services que LOUIS XVI leur a rendus, les États-Unis ont depuis fait élever à Philadelphie un monument qui en éternisera le souvenir. Cet exemple est d'autant plus mémorable, que les Siècles passés n'offrent aucun exemple de monumens élevés par des Républiques à la gloire d'un Souverain. Les Traités de Paix ont rendu aux Nations la liberté des mers; bienfait dont l'Europe est redevable à la générosité de LOUIS XVI. Le Port de Cherbourg, ouvrage immortel du règne de ce grand Prince, doit affermir cette liberté si utile aux Peuples.

On the 22 d inst y being in lat de 29 degrees N. longitude 29 deg s 30 min s W. we still in sight, and after an action of an hour and a half, CAPTURED the British Mag a ship MACEDONIAN, commanded by Captain JOHN CARDEN and morning."
Boarding was effected after a most gallant resistance, the number of our killed and wounded was not large, but the loss of the British was considerable. The enemy being in a condition that the admittance of assistance was hopeless, distance which was required that in the first half hour would not occur, our losses and at no moment was the action so hot as to be considered as a mere skirmish."
he within the complete and clear machinery and rigging, without ornament, and in long words, which are in the time, exceeds the usual length of the action. The Macedonian lost her main mast, fore and main topsails, and main yard, and with much rail up in her hull. The damage sustained by this ship was not such as to render her unfit for service, and had I not deemed it important that we should not let our prize in should have retained our prize.
her return, but just morning, and had I not deemed it important that we should not let our prize in should have retained our prize.
