Over the years, laws have been passed that have later been considered unconstitutional. Laws about segregation and discrimination are good examples. This power allows courts to decide whether a law or presidential action is in agreement with the Constitution. The Supreme Court holds the ultimate authority to make this decision. If a court decides that a law conflicts with the court Constitution, that law is declared unconstitutional.
