Which of the following supreme court cases gave the court the ability to rule on matters of state legislation? marbury v. madison baker v. carr plessy v. ferguson roe v. wade

Baker v. Carr

Explanation:

Baker v. Carr was one of the most important cases in the United States. It was the Supreme Court case that defined that redistricting issues present justiciable questions, therefore enabling federal courts to intercede and to determine the ruling of redistricting cases. The defendants argued that redistricting of legislative districts was a mere "political issue", but they were not successful.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
