Question

Which of the following describes the Supreme Court's rule in defining constitutional principles?

Answer 1

The correct answer is b. One of the Supreme Court's main roles is to decide whether or not a law is constitutional. This occurs by process of judicial review, in which the Supreme Court reviews whether or not an executive or legislative action is constitutional. This falls under the broader idea of checks and balances, in which each branch of the government keeps the other branches in check to avoid a dictatorship or tyranny from forming.
