Question

judicial review
Marbury v. Madision
appellate jurisdiction

Answer 1

The doctrine that gives the Supreme Court the authority to check the executive and legislative branches is judicial review. This power was established in the landmark case Marbury v. Madison in 1803, where the Supreme Court asserted its authority to review and invalidate laws and actions of the other branches of government if they are found to be unconstitutional.
