The judicial branch made the decision in this case. It showed the other branches that the judicial branch had more power than them. There are tree branches total.
Hope this helps!

Since the judicial branch made this decision, it showed the other two branches that the judicial branch had more power than them. They were able to basically override what the other two branches had said.
