The United States Constitution, Article 3, Sections 2 states that the Supreme Court has the ". . . judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting . . . to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."Therefore, the Supreme Court has the power to settle disputes involving the United States.
Is it true or false that the case of Marbury v Madison gave the US Supreme Court the power of judicial review?
False, the US Constitution gives the US Supreme court power over all cases and all types of cases with very few withheld: quoting the US Constitution Article III section 1 "The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court" section 2 "The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."
Can the federal courts try cases involving disputes with foreign countries?
Yes. The federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes with foreign countries, and this is one of the areas over whichthe Constitution grants the Supreme Court original (trial) jurisdiction.Article III, Section 2"The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."
Does the Constitution actually say that the supreme court has the power to rule something unconstitutional?
Not in so many words, no. It does say that "The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court [...] judicial power shall extend [...] to controversies to which the United States shall be a party", which very strongly implies it. Follow the link to the Wikipedia article on judicial review in the United states if you want to see the full argument. Marbury v. Madison was probably the first time this was actually tested, though.

Do all federal cases begin in lower courts?
All legal cases begin in the court of original jurisdiction, or the trial court. In the federal court system, this usually means US District Court or one of the limited jurisdiction courts (e.g., US Bankruptcy Court).There is a limited class of cases for which original jurisdiction resides with the US Supreme Court. These are enumerated in Article III, Section II of the Constitution:Article III, Section 2:"The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."The Eleventh Amendment revoked the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction over disputes "between a state and citizens of another state," due to the Court's decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, (1793), in which the Jay Court decided the states lacked sovereign immunity from being sued for debt acquired during the Revolutionary War. Congress and the states rightfully feared this could bankrupt the states, and quickly passed the Eleventh Amendment.The Supreme Court later decided the Eleventh Amendment should be extended to include disputes between a state and its own citizens.Amendment XIThe judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state.
