The US Supreme Court has declared hundreds of state and federal acts unconstitutional under the power of judicial review.

The first time the Supreme Court exercised judicial review to nullify federal law was in 1803 when Chief Justice John Marshall declared Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789unconstitutional because he believed Congress had extended the Supreme Court's authority to issue writs of mandamus under its original jurisdiction (the first court to review a case) to federal officials, in contradiction to language in Article III of the Constitution.
