Question

“it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is. those who apply the rule to particular cases, must of necessity expound and interpret that rule. if two laws conflict with each other, the courts must decide on the operation of each.”
chief justice john marshall, 1803
which conclusion can be drawn from this excerpt of the supreme court’s decision in marbury v. madison?

• this decision established the concept of judicial review and strengthened the role of the judicial branch
• this decision gave congress the authority to charter the national bank, which angered the anti - federalists.
• this decision strengthened the “elastic clause” of the u.s. constitution and expanded the powers of congress.
• the jurisdiction granted the judicial branch is limited to federal and constitutional laws.

Explanation:

The excerpt from Marbury v. Madison states the judicial branch's role to interpret laws and resolve conflicts between them, which is the core of judicial review. This decision established the judiciary's power to review laws, strengthening its branch. The other options refer to different Supreme Court cases: the National Bank relates to McCulloch v. Maryland, the "Elastic Clause" expansion is also tied to that case, and the limited jurisdiction claim contradicts the ruling's expansion of judicial power.

Answer:

● This decision established the concept of judicial review and strengthened the role of the judicial branch.
