Answer 1

The law can be argued in the Supreme Court.

Explanation:

• Any bill that turns into a law, irrespective of where it originated, can be challenged in the supreme court if an individual or a group of individuals believes that the law is unconstitutional.

• Any bill to turn into law needs the consent of the president. But despite the bill having signed by the president, the supreme court has the authority to authenticate the constitutionality of the law as only the supreme has the right to give the final interpretation of what the constitution says about the law.
