How can Congress respond when the Supreme Court exercises the power of judicial review? Provide examples to illustrate your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers vary. Possible answers include doing nothing and ignoring the ruling, amending the statute in question to comply, repealing the law and passing (or not) new legislation, and seeking a constitutional amendment. Students could provide a variety of examples illustrating these approaches, such as reconstruction amendments in response to Dred Scott or continued use of the legislative veto after Chadha.
