What happens when the supreme court decides that a law is unconstitution?

Answer 1

The law is nullified and may not be enforced against anyone, but it is not "repealed" in the sense that a legislature repeals laws it has made earlier. The unconstitutional law will remain on the books until the appropriate legislature makes an actual repeal to clear the books of the now useless law.

Answer 2

If a law is challenged in court or is relevant to a case appealed to the US Supreme Court, and the US Supreme Court declares the law unconstitutional, it will be nullified, or overturned. Unconstitutional laws are unenforceable.

Answer 3

The supreme court rejects or nullifies a law if it finds it unconstitutional. This means that the law shall not be utilized against or in someones favor. However, the law remains in the constitution until a suitable arm of the legislature amends the law.

Answer 4

When the Supreme Court declares a law unconstitutional, it is "nullified" and rendered unenforceable.

Answer 5

It is nullified and can no longer be applied. Congress sometimes rewrites laws the Court has declared unconstitutional and passes them in a form more acceptable to the Supreme Court.

Answer 6

It means that the law violates the Constitution.

Answer 7

The Supreme Court's decision refers the case back to the lower court that must review the case and change the ruling. I hope this helps!

Answer 8

It is nullified and becomes unenforceable
