Decision of the Supreme Court in Marbury v. Madison
delivered by Chief Justice John Marshall
"So, if a law be in opposition to the Constitution, if both the law and the Constitution apply to a particular case, … the Court must determine which of these conflicting rules governs the case. This is of the very essence of judicial duty.…
The particular phraseology [wording] of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."

The US Constitution specifies the structure of the US Federal Government. It describes the branches of the Federal Government and how they work. It also has a series of amendments that clearly define the rights of US citizens. The Constitution also informs us that whatever is not covered in this document is left to the States. Here's an example of the US Constitution leaving a duty to US State governments. A State can identify serious crimes that could result in the death penalty. The law the State creates however must comply with the US Constitution. If a State decides not to have a death penalty, that's quite alright with the Federal government. But all US State laws must still be "Constitutionally" correct in that the law must not conflict with the US Constitution. Here's an example of that: A State decides to pass a law that allows State officials to close down any newspaper that calls itself a "communist newspaper". This would be a law that violates the Constitution's 1st Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech. This State law therefore does not comply with the US Constitution.
