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
