1. b. the judicial branch to decide whether laws or actions of the other two branches are constitutional.

2. True.

3. Marbury v. Madison.

Explanation:

1. The doctrine of judicial review allows the judicial branch to decide whether laws or actions of the other two branches are constitutional. The other two (2) branches are the Legislative and Executive arm of government.

Also, any law or actions that aren't consistent with the constitution or that are unconstitutional are declared null and void.

2. When a state exercises jurisdiction over property within that state, this type of jurisdiction is called in rem. Rem is a Latin word which typically means against a thing. In this context, a thing can be anything such as a property.

3. The power of judicial review has remained unchallenged since it was established by which United States Supreme Court decision, Marbury v. Madison. The case was one which on the 24th of February, 1803, the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled that an act of the US Congress was unconditional and as such declaring it null and void. This gave rise to the judicial review in the United States of America.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
