"The fact is, that SCOTUS is the Constitutional last word on the Constituitonality of any particular law. The concept(s) was contained in English Common law."

No, actually it is NOT. FINAL authority lies with the people, via Congress and the state legislatures according to the stated amendment process.

State legislatures are irrelevant. The Constitution can be Amended, but then the Constitution itself is changed and the point of judicial review is mute.
