Answer: B. It decides if any constitutional rights were violated in a given situation.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court acts as the custodian of the Constitution which means that they decide whether an action has breached the Constitution in which case they would declare that action to be null and void.

The actions in question could include laws passed by either Congress or the various states. Even activities by companies that may be legal under the current legal statutes of the nation but go against the Constitution are subject to review.

How has federalism impacted political parties?
dedylja [7]
There are a number of ways in which federalism affects many aspects of US government and politics. Here are a few important ways:
1) Variation in state laws concerning such matters as the age at which one can drive a car and must attend school.
2) Variations in penalties of law breaking from state to state.
3) Complexity of the American legal system, having both national and state courts.
4) Each state having not only its own laws and courts but also its own Constitution.
5) Complexity of the tax system: income tax (federal and state); state property taxes; local sales taxes.
6) State-based elections, run largely under state law.
7) The frequency and number of elections.
8) Political parties being decentralised and largely state-based.
<span>9) Regional diversity (the South, Midwest, Northeast etc.) and regional considerations when making appointments to, for example, the cabinet, or when 'balancing the ticket' in the presidential election.</span>
