The correct answer is C) judicial review.

Judicial review is essentially a power given to the Supreme Court which states that this court will determine whether laws are constitutional. If the Supreme Court finds that a state or federal law violates a citizens rights, it will be deemed unconstitutional. This power was given to the federal government after the Supreme Court cases Marbury vs Madison, which took place in 1803.
