Explanation:

The judicial review, as defined by Marbury vs Madison in 1803, was a Supreme court case that was over the principle of judicial review in the United States of America. This meant that the courts were vested with power to make laws, decrees and other amendments that were on violation of the constitution of the United States. However, with the improvement in the judiciary system, the supreme court has the power to waive the decisions made by other courts that may be deemed unconstitutional.
