The power to declare a law unconstitutional is called "judicial review." This authority allows courts, particularly the Supreme Court, to evaluate the constitutionality of legislative and executive actions. Judicial review serves as a check on the powers of the other branches of government, ensuring that laws align with the Constitution. This principle was established in the landmark case Marbury v. Madison in 1803.
