Is it fair to say that the U.S. Supreme Court gave itself the power of judicial review? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?

The ideal answer should include:
1. Judicial review is the power not only to declare acts and laws of any state and local government unconstitutional but also to strike down acts of any branch of the federal government.
2. Judicial review is not mentioned in the Constitution. Instead, it originated in the decision of Marbury v. Madison, in which the Supreme Court asserted that, on the basis of its interpretation of the Constitution, the Court could limit the actions of Congress and strike down laws deemed unconstitutional. This effectively established judicial review. Hence, one can argue that the Court gave itself the power of judicial review.
