To the extent the court issuing an order is recognized as legitimate, the court has power because either people agree to comply with its decisions or because the holder of a court order can get police or military to enforce the decision. A court whose decisions cannot be enforced is a nullity; it has no judicial power. A U.S. president once decided to defy the Supreme Court over an issue by saying that if the Chief Justice decided the way he did and the President won't go along, "where are the Court's troops to enforce the order?"
courts
1. Executive Power - exercised by the executive branch of the government such as the presidency. Its function is to execute and enforce the law. 2. Legislative Power - the power to legislate. This is exercised by the Congress. 3. Judicial Power - to power to settle legal disputes. This is exercised by judicial courts.
new answer i dont know
wezzles says: courts
Both Mexico and Brazil are federal presidential representative republics: The federal government is divided into three independent branches: executive, legislative and judicial. Executive power is exercised by the President, advised by a cabinet. Legislative power is a two-chamber legislature comprising the senate and the deputies. Judicial power is exercised by the Supreme Court, as well as other federal, state and local courts.
The three types of powers in the Constitution are express, implied, and inherent. Express powers are those specifically enumerated, implied powers are not actually written down, but can be inferred from express provisions, and inherent powers which the leader of a nation naturally has.
The Judicial Branch was established by Article III, and gave the branch the authority to decide cases and controversies. Strangely enough, the greatest power that is exercised by the courts, judicial review, the power to declare laws unconstitutional, is not explicitly granted by the Constitution.

This court case was the first instance of a court ruling a law as unconstitutional, and therefore it was the first time the power of judicial review was exercised.
