Article III of the Constitution grants the Supreme Court the authority to review acts of Congress to validate whether they are unconstitutional or not and therefore void. Article III of the Constitution also states "the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction in all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party. In all other cases, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction."
