checks and balances
D
regulation of commerce
E
implied powers

Explanation

In Marbury v. Madison (1803), the Supreme Court established judicial review—the power of courts to decide whether laws or government actions are constitutional. This strengthened checks and balances by allowing the judicial branch to limit actions of the other branches. The case did not concern federal contracts, commerce regulation, or implied powers.
