Madison v. Mabury and Judicial review

In the United States, all courts have the power to review decisions of the other branches of government and determine their constitutionality, but the final power of judicial review rests with nine appointed justices of the Supreme Court.This assignment has to do with the Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803). Read the case and the lecture notes, both of which are attached.

Expand the discussion and (it"s ok to explain contemporary context, too) explain why:

(a) the Judicial Branch is best suited to have this authority and

(b) the United States could not have a workable system of government without judicial review.
