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.
