Further Explanation:

The Supreme Court in the United States is a ‘Federal Court’ with ‘Federal Judiciary’ having ‘original jurisdiction’ and ‘appellate jurisdiction’ over Federal Courts of all the states.

The “Federal Configuration” of America has distributed its “power” into three branches, namely, judicial branch, executive branch, and the legislative branch with a “bicameral division”. The judicial branch evaluates and invalidates the “statues” that are considered as profane to the ‘Constitution’ of America. The court has right to overturn the “Presidential directives” in case of disobedience of constitutional laws.

In the year 1833, the “Supreme Court” specially held that the “Bill of Rights” merely applied to the “federal government” and not to “state governments”
