Answer:

judicial review

Step-by-step explanation:

The best-known power of the Supreme Court is judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act in violation of the Constitution, which is not found within the text of the Constitution itself. The Court established this doctrine in the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803).
