William marbury asked the supreme court a) appoint james madison as justice of the peace b) make madison live up to his contract c) force madison to deliver his appointment d) stop madison from operating steamboats in ney york

The correct answer is force Madison to deliver his appointment.

Before leaving the office of presidency, John Adams tried to appoint several different judges right before he left. One of these judges was William Marbury. Even though he promised and offered Marbury the job, he did not give him the proper paperwork before leaving office. This means it was left to newly elected president, Thomas Jefferson, to appoint Marbury.

Jefferson told his Secretary of States, James Madison, not to appoint Marbury or give him the proper documentation needed to officially accept this role. This would eventually lead to the Supreme Court case known as Marbury vs. Madison.
