Marshall\u2019s \nMonument remained in existence until 1981 when Marshall\u2019s statue was relocated to the \nbasement of the U.S. Supreme Court building to make way for President Reagan\u2019s inauguration \nceremonies. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E  \nThis paper argues that Congress should restore the national monument to John Marshall \nby rededicating the existing John Marshall Park, a derelict park located between the Canadian \nEmbassy and the United State Court of Appeals for the Washington D.C.
