Explanation:

Question 9

The power of judicial review for the Supreme Court was established by the Marbury v. Madison decision. In this landmark case, the Supreme Court asserted its authority to review the constitutionality of laws. Article III of the Constitution outlines the judicial branch but does not explicitly establish judicial review. The Federalist Papers are essays promoting the Constitution, and the 14th Amendment deals with citizenship and equal protection, not judicial review.

Question 10

Federalism is a system where power is divided between national and state governments. Checks and balances are mechanisms to prevent any one branch (or in the case of federalism, level of government) from having too much power. Federalism can be seen as a form of checks and balances between national and state governments. They are not unrelated (so A is wrong). Federalism and checks - and - balances apply to both state and federal levels (so B is wrong). Checks and balances do not replace federalism (so D is wrong).

Answer:

1. B. The Marbury v. Madison decision
2. C. Federalism is a type of checks and balances between the national and state governments
