The Answer is B.  Only the Legislative Branch can create amendments: the Court decides if the amendment is constitutional/fair.  The Supreme Court cannot disband Congress, either.  Nor can it impeach any president: only the legislative houses can do such a thing.

The supreme court of the United States has the constitutional power to nullify any unconstitutional law, which means that Americans will no longer have to follow it. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Although the right to pass a law is vested on Congress, however, the Supreme Court of the United States has the power to nullify any law if it violates the constitution of the United States.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The power given to the Supreme Court by the constitution to set aside any law is meant to satisfy the principle of check and balances and also to ensure that the fundamental human rights of the people are well protected.

The principle of checks and balances was inserted in the constitution to ensure that a branch of government does not have power over another; therefore the government is divided into three branches which include the legislative, judicial and the executive.

All the branches of government are designed in a way that they have the power to check each other.

The Supreme Court of the United States was created with the passage of the judiciary acts of 1789 by congress and it was made up of six justices at the time. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the country

Why did the Confederacy have so much trouble organizing for the war
astra-53 [7]
The political, economic, and military strength of the Union was much greater than that of the Confederacy. However, the war did last four years. The Confederacy proved itself resilient on many occasions. Throughout the war the tide constantly shifted, and with that so did the political, economic, and military strength of either side. Although each side had its share of military successes, in the end, the superior Northern economy, centralized government and overwhelming manpower would eventually lead to victory. In mid 1863, both the Union and the Confederacy could have won the war although; the Confederacy lacked the industry, or manpower to wage a long war with the Union.

The Union was far more industrialized than the South. The North possessed 80% of total U.S. industry. In addition, most Confederate industry was located in the Upper South-particularly in Virginia. The Confederacy lost a great deal of potential industry and manpower when West Virginia, Kentucky, Delaware, and Maryland joined the Union instead of the Confederacy. The loss of these states to the Union was as much a testament to shrewd northern politics (Maryland) as it was to opposition within the states (West Virginia). Confederate industry, especially with the loss of these states, was unable to compete with the Union.

In addition to the South's lack of industry, most capital was invested in slaves and land-both of these are non-liquid. The South's lack of a large supply of liquid capital made it difficult for Southerners to buy munitions for the war effort. As a result of the South's lack of liquid capital the North enjoyed a decided advantage..
