The correct answer is Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was given this responsibility of interpreting the Constitution through the court case Marbury vs. Madison. This court case, in 1803, established that the Supreme Court has the power of judicial review. Judicial Review is still a concept used today and allows the Supreme Court to decide whether laws made by the Congress or President are constitutional or unconstitutional.
