Answer:

In this case, the Supreme Court applied the power to declare a law/an ordinance unconstitutional.

Explanation:

This is what is known as "judicial review", which conveys the idea that the actions performed by the executive and the legislative branches of a government are subject to review and they may be invalidated by the Court.  

This power gives the Supreme Court an active role, since it controls that the two other branches observe the US Constitution. In the case at issue, the Supreme Court set forth that the ordinance violated Ms. Gilleo's First Amendment rights, which include, among others, the right of freedom of speech. Ms. Gilleo had placed a protesting sign, the city issued an ordinance against such sign, against her right of freedom of speech. Therefore, the ordinance the city issued was considered to be unconstitutional and, as a consequence, null and void.

The US Supreme Court has the power to determine whether a law is unconstitutional by applying this constitutional doctrine called "judicial review".

KonstantinChe [14]
The source of Albert's fear was "A White Rat".

This was a famous experiment by John Watson and Rosalie Rayner for which they received much criticism. The child whose name was "Albert" but is famously known as "Little Albert" moved shortly after the experiment so it was a mystery what happened to him until recently when he was found as “<span>Douglas Merritte” who died before he was found.</span>
