Explanation:

Answer:

1. Judicial review is the power of courts to review laws, executive actions, and government acts to determine if they are constitutional.
2. It was established in the U.S. via the 1803 Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court decision.
3. President John Adams appointed "midnight judges" including William Marbury; President Thomas Jefferson's administration refused to deliver Marbury's commission, so Marbury sued.
4. A writ of mandamus is a court order compelling a government official to perform their official legal duties.
5. The Court ruled that while Marbury had a right to the commission, the section of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that allowed him to sue in the Supreme Court was unconstitutional.
6. John Marshall
7. 54 years (until 1857's Dred Scott v. Sandford)
