Answer
When John Marshall became less often in the majority it was due to the Supreme Court becoming more conservative. Marshall's views on judicial review were not shared by many of his fellow justices, and as a result, he was often outvoted. This shift in the court's ideology was largely due to the appointment of new justices by President Andrew Jackson, who was a staunch opponent of Marshall's judicial philosophy.
