From the case of Marbury v. Madison
The US Supreme Court set a standard on the power of judicial review. This meant, that the Court could review governmental actions without a lawsuit to be settled. The Court, on its own volition had the right to review issues that pertained to the US Constitution. In effect, the Court already had the ability or practice of " judicial review". It did not "gain it", it simply used the power the US Constitution gave to the Court.
The power of the supreme court to declare a law "unconstitutional" is called Judicial Review. No part of the constitution actually grants this power explicitly to the Supreme Court, but the case of Marbury vs. Madison established this power and has been the accepted precedent for granting the Supreme Court the power of Judicial Review ever since.
The power was established in Marbury v Madison. It is important as it allows the Judicial system to check the power of Congress. They review a law to determine if it is unconsititutional.
