federal law?


a. marbury vs. madison


b. mcculloch vs. maryland


c. plessy vs. ferguson


d. brown vs. board of educationWhich of these cases helped establish the right of the supreme court to review the constitutionality of?
The answer to give for this question -- despite an error in the question itself -- is A, Marbury v. Madison.





The Sup. Ct. does not have the ';right'; to review the constitutionality of federal law. No branch of government has any ';rights.'; Government does not have rights, it has powers. Rights are what the people have, and the government has powers.
