Question

Which statement about the U.S. Supreme Court is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Supreme Court's importance grew after its role in judicial review was established by John Marshall.

Explanation:

John Marshall, an outstanding American lawyer and statesman, more than anyone, succeeded in shaping the American constitution. Marshall's most famous and significant achievement was the establishment of the right of the courts to exercise judicial control, i.e., the right to repeal laws that violate the provisions of the Constitution. That is why Marshall is credited with establishing the position of the judiciary as an independent and powerful branch of state power. In addition, on the account of John Marshall, there are several very important decisions on federalism, in which at the very early stage of the formation of the American republic, he clearly defined and formalized the balance of power between the federal government and the states. It is worth noting that Marshall tirelessly reaffirmed the principle of the supremacy of federal law over state law and supported the broad interpretation of the enumerated powers clause - the powers of the federal government listed in the Constitution. He made the Supreme Court of the country the focus of real power.
