    This passage from the Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court ruling illustrates the judicial principle that a U. S. law cannot be enforced if it conflicts with the Constitution.

    Explanation:

    Any law intended to be passed or already passed by Congress should inevitably comply with the United States Constitution in order to continue to function as a valid law. A law that clashes with the principles of the Constitution is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court through initiated or suo moto judicial review.
