Answer 1

Answer:

1. b. the judicial branch to decide whether laws or actions of the other two branches are constitutional.

2. True.

3. Marbury v. Madison.

Explanation:

1. The doctrine of judicial review allows the judicial branch to decide whether laws or actions of the other two branches are constitutional. The other two (2) branches are the Legislative and Executive arm of government.

Also, any law or actions that aren't consistent with the constitution or that are unconstitutional are declared null and void.

2. When a state exercises jurisdiction over property within that state, this type of jurisdiction is called in rem. Rem is a Latin word which typically means against a thing. In this context, a thing can be anything such as a property.

3. The power of judicial review has remained unchallenged since it was established by which United States Supreme Court decision, Marbury v. Madison. The case was one which on the 24th of February, 1803, the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled that an act of the US Congress was unconditional and as such declaring it null and void. This gave rise to the judicial review in the United States of America.
