Answer 1

The correct answer is
A. the Supreme Court to declare laws unconstitutional, thereby striking them down

When a new law is made by the congress and the president, the the Supreme Court reviews it to see whether it's constitutional or unconstitutional. If it's proven to be unconstitutional then it is banned and the law can't be enforced. If it's good then it's ratified and used.
