Marbury v. Madison · ¶61

And herein I shall for "the present only remark, that all possible injuries what-"soever, that did not fall within the exclusive cognizance “of either the ecclesiastical, military, or maritime tribu-"nals, are for that very reason, within the cognizance "of the common law courts of justice; for it is a settled "and invariable principle in the laws of England, that "every right, when withheld, must have a remedy, and “every injury its proper redress.”
