The statement - In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court disallowed the authority of the federal courts to overturn state laws is true.

Explanation:

in 1803, Marbury Madison was the first case in the Supreme court. The court had struck down and declared a law unconstitutional. In the end, the decision was taken and the responsibility was given to the Supreme Court to overturn the legislation.

The constitution does not give power to the judicial. Even if there is a conflict the federal courts have to follow the laws in the constitution. The supreme court has the power to view and change the federal court's law.
