Why did Thomas Jefferson not want to give William Marbury his commission?

President Jefferson believed former President Adams had made too many justice-of-the-peace appointments under the Organic Act of 1801, and noted Adams had only chosen members of his own Federalist party for these positions. This was part of a larger plan Adams instigated to ensure the Federalists retained control of the Judicial branch of government Jefferson discarded some of the appointments, and reassigned others to members of his Democratic-Republican party. Marbury and the other three men (Dennis Ramsay, William Harper, and Robert R.

Hooey) who filed a petition for a writ of mandamus attempting to force delivery of their commissions may have been rejected deliberately for some undocumented political cause, or their commissions may simply have been withheld due to random selection or other impersonal reasons Jefferson's real target was the Federalist Party, in general, whose politics he opposed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
