'''Samuel Chase'''(1741–1811) served as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court during the [[Marshall Court]]. He was also a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence on behalf of Maryland.

Active in the [[Federalist Party]], Justice Chase became the target of an impeachment effort led by [[Democratic-Republican]] President [[Thomas Jefferson]]. Chase was impeached but not convicted (removed from office) by the [[Senate]]. This established a precedent against the impeachment of [[federal]] judges for political reasons.
