Answer:
1. As a Private Citizen
You, as a citizen of the state can propose bills for the country. But in order for this suggestion to be successfully noticed, you must first pass it to a representative of the Congress or one of their staff because only a member of Congress can propose a bill.
2. As a ‘Lobbyist’
Not anyone can be a lobbyist, it is a term used for registered citizens that seek to change laws by petitions or requests. They try to influence laws and legislations that they feel are wrong. Lobbyists let the Congress know about the people’s need and tell them how one bill can help or hurt the people they represent.
3. As a member of Congress
Although only a member of Congress can propose a bill, it does not automatically pass. Before a bill becomes law, it will have to be voted by the House, approved by the Senate and finally by the President.
4. As the President
The President can also propose or suggest bills but it must still be voted upon by the Senate and Congress and only then will it become a law. The President does not have the power to directly make new bills.

In this case, it was ruled that the Supreme Court has the authority to deem laws unconstitutional. This example forever changed the Supreme Court because thousands of cases are based on this premise. The most important purpose of the Supreme Court now is to determine the constitutionality of issues. It all started with the Marshall court and Marbury vs. Madison.
