John Marshall ha plasmato in modo decisivo il diritto costituzionale americano, trasformando la Corte Suprema in un potente centro di autorità giudiziaria. Come Presidente della Corte Suprema, ha dominato il tribunale per oltre tre decenni, contribuendo in modo significativo allo sviluppo del sistema legale americano. Ha stabilito il principio della revisione giudiziaria, conferendo ai tribunali il potere di invalidare leggi in contrasto con la Costituzione e consolidando il ruolo della magistratura come ramo indipendente. Le decisioni storiche di Marshall sul federalismo hanno anche definito l'equilibrio di potere tra il governo federale e gli stati, affermando costantemente la supremazia della legge federale.
