Question

which of the following is an example of the principle of judicial review being exercised?
a congress decides to impeach a federal judge for failure to uphold the law
b the president appoints a candidate to serve on the supreme court
c the senate first examines, and then rejects a supreme court candidate
d the supreme court declares a state law unconstitutional

Explanation:

Judicial review is the power of courts to review laws or government actions and declare them unconstitutional. Option A involves congressional impeachment, not judicial review. Option B is presidential appointment power, and Option C is senatorial confirmation power, neither related to judicial review. Option D directly shows the court exercising the power to invalidate a law as unconstitutional, which is the core of judicial review.

Answer:

D. The Supreme Court declares a State law unconstitutional.
