United States Constitution
History of the United States
The United States as it existed under the Articles of Confederation was somewhat similar to Europe in the early days of the common market. It was basically divided into 13 nations by allowing each one it's own taxes, and tariffs. However, after a few short years the Articles were removed and replaced by the Constitution in attempt to address their weaknesses. Despite this failure the Articles of Confederation did obtain a few strengths, and were a stepping stone that led the Founding Fathers to create the Constitution.

Supreme Courteme Court of the United States
As we know, judicial review is grounded in the court case of Marbury v. Madison. To see if your knowledge is solid at this point, look over the current case of Schwarzenegger v. Plata at the site http://topics.law.cornell.edu/supct/cert/09-1233. After viewing all of the case briefs, act as if you were a Justice in the Supreme Court and decide if the case is constitutional or not.
