Answer:

Because of John Marshall, the Supreme Court can review the constitutionality of federal laws that allegedly contradict the Constitution of the United States. This arises from the ruling in Marbury v. Madison, written by Chief Justice Marshall.

Explanation:

Marbury v. Madison is the most significant precedent of the Supreme Court, which gave the power to oversee the constitutionality of laws, as well as to protect the human rights and freedoms of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution.

In this matter, the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is established in cases where there are differing opinions of appellate courts, when a federal law is being evaluated, and especially when a constitutional issue is raised.

In this way, this ruling modified the system of "checks and balances", allowing the federal judiciary to control legislative and executive power in certain cases. This specific power of the judiciary is not enshrined in the Constitution, but has been put into practice through judicial review. It implies the right of courts to declare invalid and to repeal acts of executive and legislative power (both of the President and of Congress) which are considered contrary to the Constitution. The Supreme Court, through judicial review, cannot amend the Constitution, but can only interpret and apply it in a manner it deems appropriate.

Para que se creó la casa de contratación <br><br><br> Para que
Mila [183]

La Casa de Contratación fue un organismo creado por la monarquía española en 1503, cuya principal finalidad fue la regulación del comercio y la navegación entre España y América; dotar a los pilotos de los instrumentos y formación adecuada y recoger de los mismos toda la información sobre las tierras que iban descubriendo, la que posteriormente se plasmó en cartas geográficas.

La organización científica de la Casa de Contratación, cuyas sedes fueron Sevilla y luego Cádiz, estuvo sustentada en las figuras del piloto mayor, el cosmógrafo y el catedrático de arte de navegación y cosmografía. El primero examinó y graduó a los pilotos, y de él dependía la calidad de los trabajos de la institución. El segundo de ellos, el cosmógrafo, tenía la función de realizar cartas náuticas e instrumentos de navegación; asimismo, formó parte de los tribunales examinadores de pilotos y estudió las relaciones que éstos traían de sus viajes, incorporando las novedades encontradas, si es que se consideraban fiables. El cargo de catedrático respondió a la necesidad de formar pilotos con un adecuado conocimiento de los nuevos métodos de navegación.

La producción cartográfica de la Casa de Contratación estuvo basada en la continua corrección del padrón oficial, modelo oficial del mapamundi que se actualizó constantemente de acuerdo a los nuevos descubrimientos geográficos. Ello la hacía una cartografía eminentemente empírica, para el uso casi exclusivo de navegantes y descubridores y de estricta confidencialidad. Por esta razón, aunque convirtió a la institución en el principal centro cartográfico de Europa, su labor no trascendió al resto de la sociedad.
