∙ 6y agoALL courts have the power of judicial review in the United States, but the US Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of the Constitution.
In the United States, the federal court system may adjudicate cases challenging Federal Laws. The Supreme Court has the ultimate power of judicial review and is the final arbiter of constitutionality.
"Judicial review," in this case, specifically refers to the authority of the Court to review legislation and other acts of Congress and the President to ensure they comply with the Constitution, and to overrule any laws that are unconstitutional.
The state court systems also have the right of judicial review for both state and federal laws, but typically deal with questions of municipal and state law and state constitutional matters. Cases with preserved federal questions (US Constitutional claims) may be appealed to the US Supreme Court once all avenues of appeal in the state judiciary have been exhausted.
History
Chief Justice John Marshall affirmed this right in Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), when the Court declared Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional because it extended to the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over all writs of mandamus, which Marshall asserted wasn't one of the enumerated forms of original jurisdiction specified by the Constitution.
Under the US Constitution, as interpreted by the early Supreme Court, the power of Judicial Review of legislative acts lies with the courts, and particularly with the Supreme Court.
