- People are protesting against poverty, the government, unemployment, and President Hosni Mubarak who has ruled for 30 years. Mubarak failed to meet the people's desires and they want to stop his position as president since its "odd" that no one has ever won against him in an election. The President responded by blocking Twitter and Facebook causing a larger riot. The ongoing protest causes Obama to take action. //My question is, how was Hosni Mubarak able to stay as a president for 30 years?//

They all tie to the Supreme Court and power because the argument between Marbury and Madison leads to the Supreme Court gaining power. Since the 'fight' between them occured because Congress wanted to increase their hold on the Judicial Branch. In order for them to achieve that goal, Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1801 which created new positions in the branch. John Adams signs commissions for the new judges but John Marshall failed to deliver 17 out of 58. James Madison was ordered to deliver the rest but refused to do so. William Marbury, one of the new judges, brought suit in the Supreme Court about not recieving his commission saying that the Judiciary Act gave the Court power to order Madison to deliver his commission. However, the Supreme Court went against his opinion and gave the court the power to declare laws if they're constitutional which leads to the checks and balances today. The Judicial Branch (Supreme Court) today have the power to declare laws and actions to be unconstitutional. Also, the Judiciary Act of 1789 was a law passed by Congress that created the federal court system which gives the Supreme Court a chance to even gain power and the Judicial review establishes the power to declare laws to be unconstitutional.
