What did Marbury v. Madison establish?

The power of Judicial Review
State ordered segregation
The right of counsel in criminal trials
Desegregation of public schools

The correct answer is: The power of Judicial Review

Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review, which is the power of the Supreme Court to declare laws and actions of the government unconstitutional. This decision strengthened the power of the Judicial Branch and set a precedent for future rulings. It did not address issues of segregation or the right to counsel in criminal trials, making options B and C incorrect. Option D also does not pertain to the decision in Marbury v. Madison as it was concerned with the legality of an executive order and not the desegregation of schools.
