Which branch of government determines if laws are fair?

Answer 1

We do, the People, the citizens of the country. The US was founded on the ideals of democracy and revolution. When our government becomes corrupt or unfair to the people, we have the right to stand up and say, "No More!" By legal means, we can petition the courts, or lobby our legislators to change things. If we take all legal means under the Constitutions and there is no redress, then we have the right to stand up and depose those corrupt leaders.

Answer 2

Any court may review and make a determination about the constitutionality of laws relevant to a case before the court. The Supreme Court of the United States (aka US Supreme Court) is the ultimate authority on the US Constitution, however. If a lower court declares a law unconstitutional, the government would undoubtedly appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.

Contrary to popular belief, the courts cannot review bills in Congress; do not approve or disapprove legislation before it's signed into law; and cannot overturn laws on their own initiative. Under Article III of the Constitution, the courts are limited to ruling on laws that are legitimately related to a "case or controversy" presented to the court.

As to fairness: ideally, the court system should ensure laws are applied equally and are "fair" to the extent that they are constitutional; the courts are also required to provide due process of law (fairness in the legal process itself). Unfortunately, this, like every other human endeavor, is flawed. Laws aren't always fair, and there are often biases in the way they're applied.

The judiciary ensures that laws are constitutional.
