What article of the US Constitution gives courts the authority to review legislation for Constitutionality?
There is no specific article giving the courts the power to review legislation for constitutionality. Not one word. One could infer that this power is implied in Article 3, Section 2. That Article said the federal judicial authority shall extend to all cases arising under the Constitution and the laws passed thereunder. But it does not give any power to declare laws invalid. The Supreme Court made a decision in the case of Marbury v. Madison that the power to review legislation is implied in that Article, because the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the courts have power to interpret cases arising under the Constitution. Thus, if a case alleges that a particular law is contrary to the Constiturion, the Court has the power to determine whether or not it is unconstitutional.

If the Supreme Court did not have the power to interpret the Constitution, it would significantly impact the legal system and the balance of power in the government. The Court's role in interpreting the Constitution helps ensure that laws and government actions are in line with the principles of the Constitution. Without this power, there would be uncertainty and inconsistency in how laws are applied and enforced. Additionally, the balance of power in the government would be disrupted, as the Court serves as a check on the actions of the legislative and executive branches.
