A
a strong agricultural economy
B
state’s rights over the power of the federal government
C
a strong federal government and national economy
D
a legislative branch that was more powerful than the executive and judicial branches
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During his tenure (1801–1835), the Court vastly expanded the role of the national government at the expense of states’ rights advocates and broadly interpreted the legislative, executive, and judicial powers that the founders had enumerated in the Constitution.

Detailed explanation-2: -John Marshall served as Chief Justice for 34 years-from 1801 until 1835, and he wrote most of the important opinions that the Court decided during that period. By the time of his death in 1835, the federal judiciary was a full partner in the federal government.

Detailed explanation-3: -Marbury then sued to obtain it. With his decision in Marbury v. Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall established the principle of judicial review, an important addition to the system of “checks and balances” created to prevent any one branch of the Federal Government from becoming too powerful.
