Slavery is a perfect example. It didn't become illegal because the SC said it was. It became illegal because we amended the Constitution to make it so.

"The American political system is a federal system, in which constitutional authority is divided between a national government and state governments: each government is assumed to derive its powers directly from the people and therefore to have sovereignty over the policy responsibilities assigned to it. The federal system consists of nation and states, indivisible yet separate. "
