How is the Supreme Court able to check the power of Congress?

History

Alja [10]4 years ago
7 0

The Supreme Court uses judicial review to declare actions by the President or Congress to be invalid if they are contrary to the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and no presidential act or congressional laws may conflict with it. The Courts are the interpreters of the laws and as such they interpret the Constitution and laws to decide if they conflict with one another.

Further, it allows the Judicial Branch to "define" that law by answering questions about it that are not spoken to directly in the regulation itself.

Chief Justice John Marshall clearly affirmed the power of judicial review in the case Marbury v. Madison, (1803), when the Court declared Section 13 of the Judicial Act of 1789 unconstitutional. It should be noted that the US Supreme Court, for the most part, determines what laws to review based on decisions made in lower Federal Courts. In most cases the Court waits for a case to be presented to them. It then can reject hearing the case or depend on the ruling of the lower courts.

Which of the following statements about the American Party is FALSE? a. Because the Democratic Party lacked organization and lea
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

I believe the answer is b. because The Know Nothing movement also briefly emerged as a major political party in the form of the American Party, and they were primarily an anti-Catholic, anti-immigration, and xenophobic movement, originally starting as a secret society. So they wouldn't be supported by Catholics if they were anti-Catholic, right?

¿Qué puedes destacar de la evolución de la democracia?
Greeley [361]

Las transiciones a la democracia se consideran con mayor frecuencia el resultado de procesos históricos de modernización. Los cambios socioeconómicos, como el aumento del PNB per cápita, los niveles de educación, la urbanización y las comunicaciones, se han encontrado tradicionalmente como correlatos o "requisitos" de la reforma democrática. Sin embargo, los tiempos de transición y el número de pasos de reforma no se han estudiado de manera exhaustiva.

Una democracia es un sistema político, o un sistema de toma de decisiones dentro de una institución u organización o un país, en el que todos los miembros tienen la misma participación en el poder. Las democracias modernas se caracterizan por dos capacidades que las diferencian fundamentalmente de formas anteriores de gobierno: la capacidad de intervenir en sus propias sociedades y el reconocimiento de su soberanía por un marco legalista internacional de estados igualmente soberanos. El gobierno democrático se yuxtapone comúnmente con sistemas oligárquicos y monárquicos, que están gobernados por una minoría y un único monarca, respectivamente.
