The correct answer is C) It mentions laws as being under the Constitution, which creates the right to review a law's constitutionality. The passage states that the judicial power extends to all cases arising under the Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made under their Authority. This establishes the power of the judicial branch to review laws and determine their constitutionality.
The correct answer is B) It places all U.S. laws, and the ability for review, under the jurisdiction of the court.
To arrive at this answer, let's examine the passage together. The passage is from Article III of the U.S. Constitution and it states, "The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority..."
This passage establishes the powers of the judicial branch by stating that the "judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity." This means that the judicial branch has the authority to hear and decide on any case that arises under the Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made under their authority.
Option A) is incorrect because while the passage mentions "Cases," it does not specifically state that any law receiving a legal challenge can be reviewed.
Option C) is also incorrect because although the passage states that the judicial authority extends to cases "arising under this Constitution," it does not explicitly mention the right to review a law's constitutionality.
Option D) is incorrect as well. Although the passage mentions "in Law and Equity," it does not explicitly state that this broadens the scope of review to any form of legal interpretation.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) It places all U.S. laws, and the ability for review, under the jurisdiction of the court.
