Why is judicial review although not mentioned in the constitution an important activity of the supreme court?
Judicial review, while not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, is an essential function of the Supreme Court as it allows the Court to interpret the Constitution and assess the constitutionality of laws and government actions. This power, established in the landmark case Marbury v. Madison (1803), serves as a critical check on the legislative and executive branches, ensuring that no law or action can violate constitutional principles. By exercising judicial review, the Supreme Court upholds the rule of law and protects individual rights, maintaining the balance of power within the government.

How is the 9th amendment like article 1 section 8 last paragraph?
The ninth amendment is similar to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18, because it helps to acknowledge the rights that our founding fathers did not specifically mention in the Constitution. Although they mentioned our most important rights, it was not obvious that all rights were still protected. For example, the right to privacy. Although it was not mentioned specifically in the Constitution, all Americans are allowed to keep their secrets and have private information that they are not willing to share to others. Without the ninth amendment stating that even though specific personal rights of the people are not listed in the Constitution, it does not mean that people don't have these other rights. Most of the other rights are just as important as the ones listed.
