"Father of the Supreme Court"
How John Marshall made the court "Supreme"!
What leadership qualities did John Marshall have?
John Marshall was very professional and dedicated to his job as evidenced by his methodical scholarly research he conducted before making a ruling. He was known to be a fair Chief Justice and did not allow bickering on his court.
He created a lot of the precedents of the Supreme Court such as allowing each justice to write up their opinions separately.
He administered the oath of office nine times to five different Presidents beginning with Jefferson and ending with Jackson! Marshall agreed to administer the oath of office to Jefferson even though they were political rivals, thus showing that dedication to one's country and duty is more important that political party politics, which are qualities of a good leader!
