| | Judicial review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Judicial review of federal and state legislation for constitutionality is established by Section 76 of the Constitution of Australia, making the High Court of Australia the second court in the world to exercise this power, after the US Supreme Court. | | | The ultimate court for deciding the constitutionality of federal or state law under the Constitution of the United States is the Supreme Court of the United States. | | | Judicial review is the power of a court to review a law or an official act of a government employee or agent for constitutionality or for the violation of basic principles of justice. |
