Answer 1

The correct answer to the first question is A) Marbury vs. Madison.

This is considered one of the most important Supreme court cases ever, as it set the example as to what power the Supreme court has in American society. This case determined that the Supreme court has the power of judicial review. Judicial review is a concept that allows the court to interpret the constitution. In other words, the Supreme court gets to decide what is constitutional or unconstitutional.

The corect answer for number 2 id D) 500,000.

Answer 2

It was "A. Marbury v. Madison" that established the principle of judicial review, which set the precedent of the judiciary system being able to rule that laws were unconstitutional. In 1775, the population of the colonies included about "D. 500,000" African slaves. This number varies slightly of course.
