The US Supreme Court
Chief Justice John Marshall stated, in his opinion for Marbury v. Madison, (1803): "It is emphatically the duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is. Those who apply the rule to particular cases must, of necessity, expound and interpret the rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the Court must decide on the operation of each."
