Which United States Supreme Court case established the power of judicial review?

  1. Engel v. Vitale

  2. Marbury v. Madison

  3. US v. Nixon

  4. Dred Scott v. Sandford

The correct answer is: Marbury v. Madison

Marbury v. Madison is the correct answer because it was the first case in which the Supreme Court asserted its power of judicial review, allowing the court to interpret the Constitution and determine the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. Engel v. Vitale dealt with prayer in public schools, US v. Nixon was about executive privilege, and Dred Scott v. Sandford concerned the rights of slaves and free African Americans, making them incorrect answers for this question.
