Generally speaking, judicial activism is the opposite of judicial restraint in that when a judge is especially "active," he or she imposes more of his or her own will in the case, whereas if a judge is more "restrained," they rely more on precedent.

If a court is exercising judicial activism, it means the court is actively making rulings that will change the laws that have been established by other branches of government, and even sometimes by other courts. The use of the word activism refers to the belief that the judges who behave in this manner are serving as activists who are pushing forward personal or political agendas.

Judicial restraint, on the other hand, means that the members of the judicial branch are restraining themselves from making decisions that could end up changing policies or laws.

What are some grievances that the colonists express in the declaration of independence

salantis [7]

In the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>, Thomas Jefferson expressed various grievances of the colonists against the British, such as:

The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea. He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.
