It doesn't. The US Constution is mostly a derivative of European
Common Law. The US Supreme took it upon themselves
to be the the Supreme Arbitrator of the increasingly idiotic
bolier-plate US Constiution back in the early 1800s,
Which is why the idiot U.N. and the neo-Fascist World Economy Gubment even exists today.
And it's why the people with post Davy Crockett
science, engineering, medical mentalities for the 21st Century
even invented the GPS, adaptive PV Cell Arrays, neo Solar Energy, neo Wind Energy, biodiesel, Cruise Missiles, Drones, AAVs, AUVs, laser-guided bombs, Phalanx, RISC Computer Networks,
Post AT&T Fiber Optics, Post Ford batteries, Post GM Robotics,
Post McDonald's Holograms, Optical Computers, C++,
Elibraries, HDTV, CD+rw, DVD->, Blogs, On-Line-Publishing,
All-In-One Printers, XML, and USB. for the ABC/Disney idiots.

The Court's decision in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803) established the Court's power of judicial review.
It is a part of the great system of checks and balances.
What other entity would have appropriate authority to rule on the constitutionality of laws?
