Identify the historical context of the question

The question asks for a direct result of a Supreme Court decision (indicated by the context of judicial power and the letter "R" which typically references a specific reading passage or case in social studies assessments, specifically Marbury v. Madison).

Analyze the impact of the landmark decision

The landmark case Marbury v. Madison (1803) established the principle of judicial review. This ruling gave the Supreme Court the ultimate power to declare acts of Congress and the Executive branch unconstitutional.

Evaluate the given options

• Option (1) states that the power of the federal judiciary was strengthened. This directly aligns with the establishment of judicial review.
• Option (2) is incorrect because the number of justices is determined by Congress, not by a court decision.
• Option (3) is incorrect because the decision limited, rather than increased, legislative overreach.
• Option (4) is incorrect because the decision asserted judicial authority over executive actions, rather than expanding executive authority.
