Diversity jurisdiction allows each party to avoid litigating his case before the courts of his adversary's state. A second judicial power emerged in the Republic's early years. The U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Marbury v.Madison (1803) explained the authority (authorized by the Constitution) it is possible to identify a law unconstitutional and declare such a law invalid.
