Judicial review is a power never explicitly mentioned in the U.S Constitution.
However, after the landmark case of Marbury V. Madison (1803), Chief Justice John Marshall set the precedent of judicial review, giving the supreme court the power to rule on the constitutionality of a federal law (specifically, the case involved the Judiciary Act of 1789 and the Judiciary Act of 1801). The court, after interpreting Article III Section 1 and Section 2 of the Constitution, believed that the power was implied in the Constitution, and since then, the ruling has not been challenged. Also, the Supreme Court did not rule any state law unconstitutional until Fletcher V. Peck (1810).
