The correct answer is C. The Marbury v. Madison ruling made possible to the Supreme Court to strike down a racial discrimination law for violating the Constitution, as this ruling made the Supreme Court the final interpreter and controller of the Constitution and the constitutionality of inferior laws.

This happened because the Supreme Court did not resolve the Marbury-Madison conflict because it ruled that Section 13 of the Judicial Law, which gave it competence to solve the case, was contrary to the Constitution, which already established the jurisdiction of the Court. Thus, it guaranteed the supremacy of the Constitution against the lower laws.

Thanks to the case of Marbury v. Madison, C. The Supreme Court strikes down a racial discrimination law for violating the Constitution.

The case of Marbury v. Madison saw William Marbury go up against James Madison for refusing to issue him his commission to become a judge. The Supreme Court ruled that it had the power to strike down laws that were against the Constitution in its ruling.

This allowed the Supreme Court to issue several rulings over the years such as:

  • Voiding racial discrimination laws
  • Protecting freedom of expression
  • Protecting the right to bear arms

In conclusion, the case of Marbury v. Madison led to the Supreme Court being able to strike down racial laws for being unconstitutional.
