The question whether the judges are invested with exclusive authority to decide on the constitutionality of a law has been heretofore a subject of consideration with me in the exercise of official duties. Certainly there is not a word in the Constitution which has given that power to them more than to the Executive or Legislative branches. ✨ Thomas Jefferson, J. Jefferson Looney (2004). The Papers of Thomas Jefferson: 1 October 1814 to 31 August 1815, p.525, Princeton University Press
