Two landmark decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court served to confirm the inferred constitutional authority for judicial review in the United States: In 1796, Hylton v. United States was the first case decided by the Supreme Court involving a direct challenge to the constitutionality of an act of Congress, the Carriage Act of 1794 which imposed a "carriage tax".[2]
The Court engaged in the process of judicial review by examining the
plaintiff's claim that the carriage tax was unconstitutional. After
review, the Supreme Court decided the Carriage Act was not
unconstitutional. In 1803, Marbury v. Madison[3]
was the first Supreme Court case where the Court asserted its authority
for judicial review to strike down a law as unconstitutional. At the
end of his opinion in this decision,[4]
Chief Justice John Marshall maintained that the Supreme Court's
responsibility to overturn unconstitutional legislation was a necessary
consequence of their sworn oath of office to uphold the Constitution as
instructed in Article Six of the Constitution.
It's a large alliance of nations, meant for the protection of themselves, I think.
Answer:
The need for amending the procedures set forth in the Constitution for electing a president and vice president were necessary because of the ambiguity in Article II, Section I.
Explanation:
Before the 12th Amendment, the vice presidents were chosen from the same pool of candidates that stood presidential elections. The vice president was usually the runner up and that made Thomas Jefferson, from the from the Democratic-Republican Party, the vice president elect during the 1976 election while John Adam was the first in the election, the president elect from the Federalist Party. The ratification of the 12th amendment in 1804 paved way for both president and vice to appear under same party ticket.
In the 20th Amendment, January 20 became the date for the swearing in of the president and vice president unlike what was obtainable.
The constitution did not talk about the term limits until the 22nd Amendment , which put a two-term limit on the presidential tenure arrangements.
Answer: To establish the right of the people to overthrow a government that takes away their natural rights
Explanation:
The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence which was its introduction, showed the foundation upon which the Declaration stood by making it clear that the people had the right to overthrow a Government that takes away their natural rights.
Basing this mostly on the Social Contract theory, the Founding Fathers used this section to justify that their rights as Englishmen and free folk had been impeded upon by the British and so they had both the philosophical and political right to break away.
