The correct answer is C) Judicial Review.

Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to determine whether a federal or state law violates the US Constitution. This power was given to the Supreme Court due to the decision in the Marbury vs. Madison case. This Supreme Court case in the early 1800's established judicial review and has had an enormous impact on the Supreme Court ever since.
