John Marshall (September 24, 1755 – July 6, 1835) was an American statesman, jurist, and Founding Father who served as the fourth chief justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835. He remains the longest-serving chief justice and fourth-longest-serving justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential justices ever to serve. Prior to joining the court, Marshall briefly served as both the U.S. Secretary of State under President John Adams and a U.S. Representative from Virginia, making him one of the few Americans to have held a constitutional office in each of the three branches of the United States federal government. Marshall was born in Germantown in the Colony of Virginia in British America in 1755. Read more on Wikipedia
