Who reviews the US Constitution and laws for fairness and protection of rights?

The Supreme Court of the United States reviews laws that are relevant to cases before the Court to ensure their constitutionality, but does not scrutinize them for "fairness," as many people would define the concept.
Many laws are unfair to certain people or groups, or fail to protect their rights, but the judicial system is concerned only with whether a law adheres to constitutional principles. In order to overturn an "unfair" law, someone first has to convince the Court that the law directly violates a real person's constitutional rights and causes harm to that person.
P.S. If this question relates to homework or a test, then the "correct" answer is the US Supreme Court.

Therefore, a Bill of Rights was added so more states would ratify the Constitution, and the American people were afforded more protection than with the Constitution alone. The Bill of Rights added a significant number of rights and privileges not given to citizens under the Constitution alone.
