Answer 5

Here are the Judicial check.

Judicial

Determines which laws Congress intended to apply to any given case
Determines whether a law is unconstitutional. However, this is not a power given in the constitution. It was 'created' in Marbury v Madison (1803)
Determines how Congress meant the law to apply to disputes
Determines how a law acts to determine the disposition of prisoners
Determines how a law acts to compel testimony and the production of evidence
Determines how laws should be interpreted to assure uniform policies in a top-down fashion via the appeals process, but gives discretion in individual cases to low-level judges. (The amount of discretion depends upon the standard of review, determined by the type of case in question.)
Polices its own members

Compare the two and you should have your answer. :)
