“As the courts are generally the last in making the decision, it results to them, by refusing or not refusing to execute a law, to stamp it with its final character. This makes the Judiciary department paramount in fact to the Legislature, which was never intended, and can never be proper.”
(
James Madison

The Papers of James Madison
, Vol. VIII, p. 293. October 15, 1788.)
