Also if you want a Constitutional reference, feel free to look at the 9th and 10th amendments of the Constitution. The 9th says that those rights listed in the Constitution by no means are the only rights that people have and the 10th says that any rights NOT listed belong to the people. The right to determine whether a law abides by the Constitution is not listed, so it is therefore a right of the people.

Quote:
Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
