The Supreme Court, with its final power of judicial review, has the ultimate authority to interpret and review the constitutionality of laws and government actions.
The power that enables the Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of government actions is called judicial review. This authority allows the Court to interpret the Constitution and decide if laws or actions by the government are in line with its principles.
The US Supreme Court set a standard on the power of judicial review. This meant, that the Court could review governmental actions without a lawsuit to be settled. The Court, on its own volition had the right to review issues that pertained to the US Constitution. In effect, the Court already had the ability or practice of " judicial review". It did not "gain it", it simply used the power the US Constitution gave to the Court.
No, the Supreme Court is not a legislative body. The Executive and Legislative branches makes treaties and pass legislation; the Supreme Court has the right to evaluate the constitutionality of these actions if they are challenged by parties with standing.
The Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction allows it to review the constitutionality of the federal lower courts' decisions, and of state supreme court decisions that involve a matter of federal or constitutional law. Judicial review refers more specifically to the power of the Supreme Court to review legislation and acts of Congress and the President (the Legislative and Executive branches) to unsure they confirm to the principles of the constitution, and to overrule laws that are unconstitutional.
