It strengthened the role of the judicial branch of government.

It affirmed the principle of judicial review.

Explanation:

The famous case of Marbury v. Madison of 1803 resulted from the last-minute appointments- "midnight judges" by outgoing President John Adams mere hours before the succeeding president Thomas Jefferson comes to the office. This appointment resulted in the conflict of what power trumps the other.

President John Adams appointed William Marbury along with several others as justices of the peace hours before he was to step down as President. By the time the next president Jefferson came to office, the commission of Marbury along with some others was still left undelivered. Marbury then took the new Secretary of State John Marshall to court, asking for his commission to be delivered.

This resulted in the court deciding which power decides which fate, confirming the power of judicial review and strengthening the role of the judicial branch. The Supreme Court directed that if any act of Congress is in conflict with the interest of the Constitution, then it can annul any acts it deems unconstitutional.

Thus, the correct answers are the first and third options.
