checks and balances

Question 1

4 aspects of the importance of judicial review

Answer 1

• interpretation - due to codified nature
• scrutiny - check that the other branches are acting in accordance with the constitution
• protecting rights and liberties by making crucial decisions
• unchecked power - the power of JR is relatively unchecked because the constitution is entrenched and difficult to change, limiting the ability of the other branches to challenge a ruling by changing the constitution
