Can just the Supreme Court declare a law unconstitutional?
No, EVERY court is required by Oath to the US Constitution (taken by the judges, US Constitution Article 6) to pass judgment upon any law contrary to the constitution that is brought before it, whether challenged or not. And failure, or refusal of that action, is a crime (Treason: violation of oath of office); quoting Marbury vs Madison (1803) "To prescribe, or to take this oath, becomes equally a crime ... if they [judges] were to be used as the instruments, and the knowing instruments, for violating what they swear to support!"
What authority is the constitution established by?
"We the people" is the subject of the sentence, and thus the authority that is ordaining and establishing. So basically, we did it. Or the we that existed then. :) This is the text of the preamble: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Why did David Walker write the phrase all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights?
David Walker, the abolitionist, was quoting Thomas Jefferson, who originally composed that statement for the Declaration of Independence. Obviously, if all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights (including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) then it is morally unacceptable to enslave people and to deny them their rights. That is the philosophical basis of the abolitionist movement. Note that President Lincoln also quoted this section of the Declaration of Independence in his most famous speech, the Gettysburg Address. It is an extremely important statement and it is fundamental to America.
