Answer 1

The Supreme Court decisions of Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review, giving the Court the power to interpret the Constitution and declare laws unconstitutional. The decision of McCulloch v. Maryland established the supremacy of federal law over state law, broadening the scope of federal power and strengthening the federal government's authority. Both decisions had a profound impact on shaping the understanding and interpretation of the Constitution.
