The correct response is Option C: It prevents the government from enforcing laws that violate the constitution.

Explanation:

Judicial review is an important aspect of the US government because it presents the legislators from enforcing laws that go against the constitution. This principle is applied in other countries with democratic political and legal systems as well because it helps to assure institutional balance between the different branches of government. In the case of the United States, the three pillars of the system are the executive, legislative and judicial branches. In law school in the United States, students are taught that the landmark case giving the Supreme Court authority over federal statutes was Marbury v Madison (1803). The conflict was over judge appointments by the outgoing John Adams government and the incoming Thomas Jefferson government. It is believed that Adams was trying to frustrate Jefferson's power to appoint his own judges. The power of SCOTUS to enact judicial review over federal statutes has been used more frequently in recent years such as protecting the sovereignty of individual states as put forward in the Tenth and Eleventh Amendments.
