Respuesta :

the correct answer is D.)Check the power of congress.

The correct answer is D) check the power of Congress.

The famous Supreme Court case Marbury vs. Madison established the concept of judicial review. This idea of judicial review allows the Supreme Court to determine whether or not a law violates the US Constitution. Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to check the power of Congress because after this case, it now has the power to strike down/get rid of any law that Congress makes that violates the rights given to citizens in the Constitution.
