Question

Examine Item C in your test document. Which Supreme Court case most directly addressed the judiciary's weaknesses raised in this passage? Item C is Below.

A. Marbury v. Madison
B. Schneck v. United States
C. Indianapolis v. Edmond
D. Plessy v. Ferguson

Item C:
Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive not only dispenses the honors but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated.

—Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 78

Answer 1

A. Marbury v. Madison

Step-by-step explanation:

Marbury v. Madison (A) is most directly addressed the judiciary's weaknesses raised in this passage. Marbury v. Madison is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that established the principle of judicial review in the United States, meaning that American courts have the power to strike down federal and state laws that contravene the United States Constitution. The case involved a dispute over an appointment to the Supreme Court made by President John Adams in the last days of his presidency.
