The Federalist No. 78 says, "A constitution is in fact, and must be regarded by the judges, as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning, as well as the meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body." In which of the following decisions did the Supreme Court use an argument most similar to the one in The Federalist No. 78 ? A McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) A B Schenck v. United States (1919) C Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) C square Marbury v. Madison (1803) D

answer is D. Marbury v. Madison (1803).<br /><br />In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court used an argument similar to the one in The Federalist No. 78. The Federalist No. 78 states that a constitution is a fundamental law, and it is the responsibility of the judges to interpret its meaning. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court asserted its power of judicial review, which allows the Court to determine the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. This decision established the principle that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and it is the duty of the judiciary to interpret and apply it.
