The correct answer is option-4, the United States of America. Judicial review is the power of the courts to determine the constitutionality of laws and actions of the government. It allows the courts to review and potentially invalidate any law or government action that is found to be inconsistent with the Constitution.

The concept of judicial review was established in the United States by the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803. In this case, the Supreme Court asserted its authority to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. This decision set a precedent for the exercise of judicial review in the United States and established the principle of the judiciary as the final arbiter of the Constitution.

Alert - correct answer should be United States of America.
