Chief Justice Marshall's opinion in Marbury v. Madison strengthened the Supreme Court and elevated the Judicial Branch's power to co-equal status with the other branches of government by giving them a tool (judicial review) to apply as a check and balance on the other branches of government.

It also annoyed President Jefferson tremendously.
