Answer:

I believe you mean Marbury, but it decided laws that are unconstitutional can be struck down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review in the United States, meaning that American courts have the power to strike down laws and statutes that they find to violate the Constitution of the United States
