The Supreme Court is given the power to limit Congress through the process of judicial review. This power is derived from the principle of constitutional supremacy, which holds that the Constitution is the highest law of the land and that all other laws, including those passed by Congress, must conform to it.
When a law passed by Congress is challenged in court, the Supreme Court has the authority to review the law and determine if it is consistent with the Constitution. If the Court finds that the law violates the Constitution, it can declare the law unconstitutional and nullify it. This process of judicial review allows the Supreme Court to limit Congress by ensuring that its laws adhere to the principles and values enshrined in the Constitution.
In this way, the Supreme Court serves as a check on the power of Congress, ensuring that the legislative branch does not exceed its constitutional authority and protecting the rights and liberties of individuals.
