The main institution of the Judicial Branch is the US Supreme Court (Supreme Court of the United States). Other courts in the Judicial Branch include US District Courts, US Court of International Trade, and the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts.
AnswerThree. They are: Legislative Branch(Congress), Executive Branch (Presidency), and Judicial Branch (Supreme Court)
To interpret and ensure proper application of the laws written by the legislative branch and enforced by the executive branch.
The Article III federal courts (ultimately, the US Supreme Court) uses judicial review to declare Presidential Executive Orders invalid if they are in conflict with the Constitution or if the Executive Order breaches the separation of powers (for example, involves an action, like declaration of war, which is delegated to Congress). The Courts are the interpreters of the laws and as such they interpret the Constitution and laws to decide if they conflict with one another.The US Supreme Court may only declare an Executive Order unconstitutional if it is relevant to a case or controversy before the Court. They cannot not take preemptive action against the Executive Branch (or the Legislative Branch).Chief Justice John Marshall clearly affirmed the power of judicial review in the case Marbury v. Madison, (1803), when the Court declared Section 13 of the Judicial Act of 1789 unconstitutional.
In most cases, supreme courts are final appellate courts.
