The representative democracy
The principle that explains why all people, including government officials, have to follow decisions made by the US Supreme Court is known as judicial review. In the case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803, the Supreme Court established its power to interpret the Constitution and declare laws and actions unconstitutional. This gives the Court the final say on legal disputes and its decisions are binding on all branches of government and institutions throughout the United States.
The principle that describes the right of the people to run their country is known as popular sovereignty. This principle asserts that the source of governmental power lies with the people, who have the authority to elect representatives, make decisions, and shape government policies. It is a core concept in democratic systems of government.
