Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The idea of judicial review is developed in the court case Marbury v. Madison.

John Adams' appointing of the "midnight judges" led to the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison in 1803, which established the principle of judicial review, allowing the Court to invalidate laws and executive actions that are contrary to the Constitution.
