Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Marbury v. Madison established judicial review of legislation by the Supreme Court of the United States. It treated the Constitution as superior to ordinary legislation and required courts to apply that superior law when the two conflict. An inconsistent legislative provision therefore could not govern the judicial decision.
