Is the power of Judicial Review necessary for it to lead to Judicial Supremacy?

Judicial review is essential for the establishment of judicial supremacy, as it empowers courts to interpret the Constitution and invalidate laws that contradict it. However, judicial supremacy can also emerge from a court's consistent exercise of this power, shaping the legal landscape and influencing other branches of government. While judicial review provides the mechanism, the extent of judicial supremacy ultimately depends on the judiciary's willingness to assert its authority and the political context surrounding its decisions. Therefore, while judicial review is necessary, it alone does not guarantee judicial supremacy.
