Is one of the main characteristics of government in the Republic of the United States? In the United States, federal and state courts (at all levels, both appellate and trial) are able to review and declare the “constitutionality”, or agreement with the Constitution (or lack thereof) of legislation that is relevant to any case properly within their jurisdiction.
In American legal language, “judicial review” refers primarily to the adjudication of the constitutionality of statutes, especially by the Supreme Court of the United States.
