Judicial activism is the view that the Supreme Court and other judges can and should creatively (re)interpret the texts of the Constitution and the laws in order to serve the judges' own visions regarding the needs of contemporary society. Judicial activism believes that judges assume a role as independent policy makers or independent "trustees" on behalf of society that goes beyond their traditional role as interpreters of the Constitution and laws. The concept of judicial activism is the polar opposite of judicial restraint.

Judicial restraint refers to the doctrine that judges' own philosophies or policy preferences should not be injected into the law and should whenever reasonably possible construe the law so as to avoid second guessing the policy decisions made by other governmental institutions such as Congress, the President and state legislatures. This view is based on the concept that judges have no popular mandate to act as policy makers and should defer to the decisions of the elected "political" branches of the Federal government and of the states in matters of policy making so long as these policymakers stay within the limits of their powers as defined by the US Constitution and the constitutions of the several states.

Judicial restraint limits the powers of judges to strike down a law. As opposed to the progressiveness of judicial activism, judicial restraint opines that the courts should uphold all acts and laws of Congress and legislatures unless they oppose the United States Constitution.

The correct answer is Plato

Plato is responsible for having access to the thoughts of several ancient Greek philosophers, such as Socrates, his master, Heraclitus, Parmenides and Pythagoras. Plato was also the introducer of the method of dialogue in philosophy and with his work The Republic founded Western political philosophy.

Plato was one of the most aware philosophers of how philosophy should be conceived and what its scope should be, and what ambitions the philosopher might aspire to. In fact, Plato can be considered the inventor of the theme of philosophy, what it actually deals with, having philosophy as a rigorous and systematic examination of ethical, political, metaphysical and epistemological issues through a distinctive method.
