question 15 of 20
which action did the marbury v. madison ruling make possible?

a. a state supreme court chooses to disregard supreme court
precedent when making a ruling.

b. the senate refuses to consider the presidents nominees for a
supreme court vacancy.

c. the supreme court strikes down a racial discrimination law for
violating the constitution.

d. the president refuses to enforce a new law even after congress
overrides his veto.

Explanation:

The Marbury v. Madison ruling established the power of judicial review, which is the Supreme Court's ability to declare laws unconstitutional. Option A is incorrect because state courts generally follow Supreme Court precedent. Option B relates to Senate's role in confirmation, not judicial review. Option D involves executive enforcement, not judicial review. Option C shows the Supreme Court using judicial review to strike down a law (racial discrimination law) as unconstitutional, which is made possible by Marbury v. Madison.

Answer:

C. The Supreme Court strikes down a racial discrimination law for violating the Constitution.
