Further Explanations:

The law offers the authority for administrative regulation contrary to constitutional amendments, though the constitution does offer authority of judicial reviews to the federal Judiciary as many framers considered it as inappropriate power for federal bench to exercise. In spite of all this, the Supreme Court exercises the authority to scrutinize that the regulation statue or treaties are violating the current constitutional laws or not. The Supreme Court also exercises the supremacy of Appellate Jurisdiction over the cases arising under the United States constitution.
