Question 3 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

All of the following statements about judicial review are TRUE except:

Answer
A
The 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison established judicial review.
B
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall’s ruling established judicial review.
C
Judicial review is specifically referred to and spelled out in the Constitution.
D
Judicial review gives the Supreme Court the ability to declare laws unconstitutional.

Explanation

Judicial review was established in 1803 through Marbury v. Madison, in which Chief Justice John Marshall wrote the Court’s ruling. It gives the Supreme Court the power to declare laws unconstitutional. The Constitution does not specifically spell out judicial review, so the false statement is “Judicial review is specifically referred to and spelled out in the Constitution.”
