S v Makwanyane

(1995) 6 BCLR 665 (CC)

Constitutional Court of South Africa · 1995 · South Africa

Issue: Whether the death penalty for murder violated the rights to life, dignity, and freedom from cruel punishment entrenched in the new South African Constitution.
Held: The Constitutional Court held that the death penalty is unconstitutional, as it infringes the rights to life and dignity, and is not justifiable in an open and democratic society.
Ratio: In a post-colonial transition from apartheid, constitutional interpretation must be generous and purposive; the death penalty is incompatible with a society founded on human rights and reconciliation.

Marbury v. Madison

basic

5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137

Supreme Court of the United States · 1803 · United States

Issue: Whether Marbury was entitled to his commission, and if so, whether the Supreme Court had the authority to issue a writ of mandamus to compel its delivery, and whether Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was constitutional.
Held: The Supreme Court held that Marbury was entitled to his commission, but the Court could not issue the writ because Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional, as it attempted to expand the Court's original jurisdiction beyond what Article III of the Constitution permits. Therefore, the Court lacked jurisdiction.
Ratio: The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and it is the duty of the judicial department to interpret the Constitution and declare void any legislative act that conflicts with it. The Supreme Court's original jurisdiction is fixed by Article III and cannot be expanded by Congress.
