-In the Case of Marbury V

-In the case of Marbury v. Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall opted to .

A) acknowledge the legitimacy of Marbury's claim, but rule that the law authorizing his suit was unconstitutional, which satisfied no one
B) order that Marbury's commission be delivered, thus asserting the power of the Supreme Court but running the risk that the administration would ignore the order
C) refuse to order that Marbury's commission be delivered, thus appearing to buckle under to the executive branch
D) declare that Marbury was entitled to a commission, but decline to give the order due to a legal technicality, which gave everyone a partial victory
