The correct answer to this open question is the following.

There is no question here, just a statement.

So we can just comment on the following.

It is true that "The Constitution . . . Meant that its coordinate branches should be checks on each other. But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic (dictatorial and oppressive) branch."

That is what the United States President Thomas Jefferson commented on September 11, 1804. What he tried to express with that quote, answering to Abigail Adams was that, according to the US Constitution,  the judicial branch, and more specifically, its judges, could decide on the constitutionality of some legislation, but only to advise the Executive and Legislative branch.

What 3 amendments can u relate to your life and why ?
AnnZ [28]
1st Amendment- If I didn't have the ability to speak freely, I wouldn't be able to have an opinion causing me to not be the person I am today.

2nd Amendment- Having no possibility of having bare arms would make me feel like I'd have no possibility of protection if I ever choose to have a gun in my possession.

4th Amendment- For people to rummage as they please in my home because they are in the power of authority terrifies me. You must have a reason that's by law reasonable which makes all feel safe on the front and end of the line.
