In the United States, the establishment of Judicial Review is attributed to the case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803, with its roots in the Judiciary Act of 1789.
This case raised the question of what happens when an Act of Congress conflicts with the Constitution. The Supreme Court determined that Acts of Congress that conflict with the Constitution are not law and the Courts are bound instead to follow the Constitution, affirming the principle of judicial review.
