How was john marshall’s interpretation of the constitution different from that of thomas jefferson’s? a) jefferson believed that judicial review was implied in the constitution; marshall did not. b) marshall believed the constitution implied strong state powers; jefferson did not. c) marshall believed the constitution granted strong federal powers; jefferson did not. d) jefferson believed the federal courts could overrule state courts; marshall did not.

The correct answer is C) Marshall believed the Constitution granted strong federal powers; Jefferson did not.

Marshall’s interpretation of the Constitution was different from that of Thomas Jefferson’s in that Marshall believed the Constitution granted strong federal powers; Jefferson did not.

John Marshall was a federalist. Thomas Jefferson was not. He was an anti-federalist. Then, Marshall considered the idea of a strong central government. On the other side, Jefferson thought that a strong government was not the better option for a new nation and even worse, a strong federal government could turn into a tyranny.
