John Marshall is most famous for being the fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding for 34 years. Some would say he was the greatest chief justice of all time. Being a chief justice was not his only role. He was a lawyer, Federalist, Virginia native, husband, father and to some a national hero.
