John Marshall was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1801 till 1835.  He established the Judicial Branch of the U.S. Government to bring checks and balances for the Legislative and Executive branches.  He employed his outstanding emotional intelligence and leadership to defend the Constitution which guarantees that "We The People" have the sovereign power to govern (as opposed to how Jefferson, Burr, Henry, and others of the Democratic party wanted "We the States" instead, being fixated on the false pretense of "States Rights" so they could own slaves).  Due to his Sacrifice during 34 years of running the Supreme Court staying in a boarding house with the other justices (while his family remained hours away in Richmond, VA) he oversaw 1200 cases to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals, he is considered a Hoss indeed!
