The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review, as developed in the case Marbury v. Madison.
Judicial Review means that if someone objects to an action of Congress, they can file a suit and that suit can work its way through the Federal Court system with the Judiciary making a determination if Congress has acted within its Constitutional purview.
the Mayflower Compact laid the foundations for two other revolutionary documents: the Declaration of Independence, which stated that governments derive their powers “from the consent of the governed,” and the Constitution.
