In this forum please examine the Supreme Court's use of
judicial review. One reason the Supreme Court is unique is the
practice of judicial review. Judicial review is the power of a
court to decide the constitutionality of laws or of the acts of a
government official. In other words, the Court’s power of
“judicial review” refers to its authority to review laws and
executive action and strike them down when it deems them
unconstitutional. This power insures that the Court is well
positioned to protect individual rights and to apply the
Constitution to new situations as they arise.
In 1803,
Marbury v. Madison
made clear this power of judicial review. Please be sure to
review the lesson for week 2 where you will see a thorough
outline of
Marbury v. Madison
and more explanation of judicial review.
In the decision, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that it was
the duty of the Supreme Court to strike down unconstitutional
laws. Ironically, the practice of judicial review is not outlined
in the Constitution, but the Court is expected to assume this
role.
Hamilton argued that judicial review made sure that the people,
through the Constitution, would have power over legislatures.
Madison argued that independent judges would be more
appropriate arbiters of the Constitution than the chaos and
factionalism of the political process.
Do you think it is a problem for the Court to have such an
immense power even though it is not specifically granted to
them in the Constitution? If the origins of judicial review are
not found in the Constitution, what grants the Court this
power? Did the framers intend the Supreme Court to possess the
power of judicial review?
How has the Court done with this role of exercising judicial
review? Please choose one of these three recent cases cases
involving judicial review. Review the summary of the case at
the link below and discuss in your initial forum post how the
Court exercised judicial review specifically in this case and if
you believe it was a proper execution of this power.
