Question

question 3 of 10
the power of judicial review allows the supreme court to:

a. protect citizens from being tried under unconstitutional laws.

b. amend the constitution to ensure fair outcomes for defendants.

c. temporarily disregard the constitution if it conflicts with federal
policies.

d. remove justices who consistently engage in judicial activism.

Explanation:

Judicial review is the power of courts to assess if laws/actions align with the Constitution. Option A reflects this: the Supreme Court can strike down unconstitutional laws, preventing citizens from being tried under them. Amending the Constitution (B) is a legislative/state process, not a court power. Courts cannot disregard the Constitution (C), and they have no authority to remove fellow justices (D).

Answer:

A. protect citizens from being tried under unconstitutional laws.
