The Supreme Court's power to decide what is constitutional?
The supreme court interprets the constitution and its findings apply to all states aswell as excutive and legislative acts. For example lets say Florida passed a law stating that african americans can not vote. People will feel that their constitutional rights have been violated and hire a lawyer to sue the state.

After the judges comfirm that the fifteen ammendment does protect the right to vote and constitution states that no state should deny the right to vote on gorunds of race the case goes in favor of the person suing the state. After this has been settled All states must adhere to the supreme court finding. In a simple way pretty much the court interprets the constitution and enforces it like congress can make a law that people feel is against the constitution and the supreme court agrees and says Nope that law is against the constitution therefor the law is nulled. This all has to do with the checks and balances which each branch checks and balances itself.

How do justices determine the meaning the Constitution?
