According to the textbook, Judicial Review is the most influential check on the supreme court provided by the other branches.
The Supreme Court's most well-known power, judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act to be in violation of the Constitution, is not mentioned in the language of the Constitution itself. This theory was established by the Court in the decision of Marbury v. Madison.
Judicial review is the Supreme Court's authority to examine whether the legislative and executive branches' actions are consistent with the Constitution, and to declare them null and void if they are not.
The power to alter the Constitution, make new laws, approve the president's selection of judges, restrict the number of justices on the SupremeCourt, and impeach judges guilty of treason, bribery, other highcrime are the principal balances on the judiciary.
