How did Marbury v. Madison help balance the federal government in the United States?

A It declared that states could decide whether or not to follow federal laws.

B It allowed the president to decide which law to follow if Congress and the Supreme Court had differing opinions.

C It allowed the Supreme Court to check the actions of the other two branches through judicial review.

D It empowered Congress to review cases made by the courts through the "necessary and proper" ruling.

Marbury v. Madison strengthened the federal judiciary by establishing for it the power of judicial review, by which the federal courts could declare legislation, as well as executive and administrative actions, inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution (“unconstitutional”) and therefore null and void.
