The Supreme Court and the Role of Government

Question 3 • 26/27 GOVERNMENT

When the Supreme Court reviewed whether the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was legal under the Constitution, which power was the Court using?

Answer
A
federal supremacy
B
regulation of interstate commerce
C
judicial review
D
power to pass legislation

Explanation

The Supreme Court was deciding whether an act of Congress—the Religious Freedom Restoration Act—was consistent with the Constitution. The power to judge whether laws violate the Constitution is called judicial review, so the correct choice is judicial review. Federal supremacy concerns federal law taking precedence over state law, while Congress, not the Court, uses the power to pass legislation.
