Answer: Marbury v. Madison, 5 U. S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803), was a U. S. Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review in the United States, meaning that American courts have the power to strike down laws, statutes, and some government actions that violate the Constitution of the United States.
