Is it possible you might never do so? Explain why. - I would agree to do so only under a few circumstanses, if my family were under control fo them, because people are selfish, if there things are being threatened, they would be madness and lost their mind little bit, and that time they would only do the things that they most care about, but i would refuse to do the things that would harm the people in the this country. And when I agree to do so i would also try my best to come up the other good way to offend them.

the Supreme court was aksed to issue to force Madison to certify Marbury as Judice of Peace. At this time the supreme court was very weak. There were a number of people who declined positions on the court because they didn't think it was prestigious enough. Judicial act law of 1789 that congress had writen that gave the supreme court the authority to force the executive to fulfill its duty. Secretary Marshall realized that issuing such a writ, even if it was the right thing, would hurt the court's power because President Jefferson would simply ignore it. And it would also look weak if the court didn't issue such a demand. Marshall created an solution by declaring Congress's law to give extra power to the Judicial Branch of government was unconstitutional. Thus, he was able to establish the ability of the court to determine whether or not a law was constitutional, increasing the court's power.
