Question

describe how judicial review established the supreme court as an independent, coequal branch of government

Answer 1

The Marbury v. Madison case introduced the diffuse control model of constitutionality of law, the judicial review, in modern constitutionalism, building on the US Supreme Court the principle of constitutional supremacy.

As a way of breaking with the English tradition of Parliament's sovereignty, from 1803, in the famous case Marbury v. Madison began to admit, on US soil, the judicial review or constitutional jurisdiction, which was therefore the intention of the judiciary to assume the right to control the constitutionality of the laws.

The judicial review is a legacy of genuinely jurisprudence conception and had as its starting point the judgment of the aforementioned case, even because, the American Constitution does not provide for the existence of constitutionality control in its text.
