Prior to his role as chief justice, John Marshall

Answer
A
was a well-known Democratic-Republican.
B
served in the House of Representatives.
C
went to law school and made his living as an attorney.

Explanation

Before becoming chief justice in 1801, John Marshall served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1799 to 1800. He was a Federalist, not a Democratic-Republican, and he studied law through an apprenticeship rather than attending law school. Therefore, the correct choice is “served in the House of Representatives.”
