Question

the court case of marbury v. madison increased the power of the supreme court by ______. a. upholding presidential appointments b. expanding individual rights c. declaring the principle of states rights unconstitutional d. establishing judicial review

Explanation:

Marbury v. Madison (1803) is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that established the power of judicial review, which grants the Supreme Court the authority to review and invalidate laws or government actions that conflict with the U.S. Constitution. The other options do not align with the core outcome of this case: upholding presidential appointments was not the ruling, expanding individual rights was not the focus, and the case did not address states' rights constitutionality.

Answer:

D. establishing judicial review
