Answer
A
the Supreme Court’s ability to set its own agenda
B
the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review

Explanation

In Marbury v. Madison (1803), the Supreme Court ruled that it could declare a law unconstitutional. This established the power of judicial review, allowing courts to review laws and government actions for consistency with the Constitution. The case did not establish the Court’s size or its status as the highest court.
