Explanation:

First Question:

To determine the case that gives the Supreme Court the authority of judicial review, we analyze each option:

• Gibbons v. Ogden: Dealt with interstate commerce, not judicial review.
• Dred Scott v. Sandford: Related to slavery and citizenship, not judicial review.
• McCulloch v. Maryland: About federal power and state taxation, not judicial review.
• Marbury v. Madison: This case established the Supreme Court's power of judicial review, allowing it to declare laws unconstitutional.

To find what established the federal court system:

• A law by the Virginia General Assembly: Deals with Virginia, not federal courts.
• Executive order by the president: Executive orders don't establish the federal court system.
• The United States Constitution: Article III of the Constitution established the federal court system.
• Virginia's Constitution: Applies to Virginia, not federal courts.

To determine how Supreme Court justices can be removed for taking bribes:

• By the president: The president can't remove justices.
• Through impeachment and conviction: Justices can be removed via impeachment (House) and conviction (Senate) for misconduct.
• Stay in office: Misconduct like bribery can lead to removal, so this is wrong.
• By a vote of the people: There's no popular vote for removing justices.

Answer:

D. Marbury v. Madison
