The life of a slave was often as unbearable as a life can be. They could not be sure they will not be killed at any instant, without a warning, or tortured, or even forced to torture others. 

Some slaves probably favoured death to their fate, and felt that even a slight chance at improvement was worth the risk. Perhaps they hoped they would be either killed or freed, and not tortured, and perhaps they would be tortured anyway by their cruel masters, In a way, for many escape was they only option that offered any sort of hope for a bearable life for them.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Marbury v. Madison firmly established that the Supreme Court of the United States has the power to

determine the constitutionality and validity of the acts of the other two branches of government – a

concept that is a fundamental characteristic of American government. But this was not always the case.

In Marbury v. Madison, decided in 1803, the Supreme Court, for the first time, struck down an act of

Congress as unconstitutional. This decision created the doctrine of judicial review and set up the

Supreme Court of the United States as chief interpreter of the Constitution.
