Describe the impact of the Supreme Court on the shaping of federal public policy

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Describe the impact of the Supreme Court on the shaping of federal public policy.

As one of the federal branches of the United States government, the Legislative branch -the US Supreme Court- has the power to overturn legislation that is considered unconstitutional. If the judges consider that legislation is unlawful or against the principles of the US Constitution, they have the power to declare it unconstitutional. That is why the Supreme Court can shape the decisions of the federal government.

Let's remember that when the founding fathers created the checks and balances system for US politics, they decided that none of the three branches would have more power than the other two.
