Judicial review gives the US Supreme Court the power to declare laws unconstitutional.

More Specifically:

Judicial review allows the courts to evaluate laws, policies, Executive Orders and US treaties relevant to cases before the court to ensure they're constitutional. The Supreme Court, as the highest appellate court in the federal Judicial Branch, has final authority to determine a law's constitutionality and to overturn, or nullify, any that don't comply with Constitutional principles.

Chief Justice John Marshal interpreted that the Supreme court has the power of judicial review in the case of Marberry v. Madison. The logic was that if congress could pass a law that was against the constitution there was no need for an amendment process, but because the constitution had one that must mean that congress could not pass any law they wanted. He reasoned then that if congress passes a law that did not fit within the constitution the courts could overturn it using judicial review.

the judicial branch got the power of judicial review from the case Marbury vs. Madison. judicial review is the power of the courts to declare a bill unconstitutional, judicial review was used in 13 century law but most courts didn't agree with it. in article three of the constitution it says the supreme court is the denied judicial power( judicial review).Also if the courts don't use judicial review laws that take away our rights would pass.
