During his tenure, he helped establish the Supreme Court as the final authority on the meaning of the Constitution. Marshall served as Chief Justice for 34 years, the longest tenure of any Chief Justice. Notwithstanding his appointment as Chief Justice, Marshall continued to serve as Secretary of State throughout President Adams’ term and, at President Thomas Jefferson’s request, he remained in that office briefly following Jefferson’s inauguration. The following year on January 20, 1801, President Adams nominated Marshall Chief Justice of the United States, and the Senate confirmed the appointment on January 27, 1801. Marshall was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1799, and in 1800 was appointed Secretary of State by President John Adams. 
Although offered appointment to the United States Supreme Court in 1798, Marshall preferred to remain in private practice. In 1797, he accepted appointment as one of three envoys sent on a diplomatic mission to France. Marshall was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1782, 1787, and 1795. Following service in the Revolutionary War, he attended a course of law lectures conducted by George Wythe at the College of William and Mary and continued the private study of law until his admission to practice in 1780. JOHN MARSHALL was born on September 24, 1755, in Germantown, Virginia.
