Question

according to the doctrine of judicial activism, judges should

only defer to elected officials who are acting within their constitutional authority.
almost never overturn the decisions of elected bodies, such as congress.
run for elected office as judges to have an even greater impact on the law.
strictly follow the original meaning of the constitution.

Explanation:

Judicial activism is the idea that judges should not be overly deferential to elected bodies and can interpret the law and Constitution in a way that addresses contemporary social - issues. Judges under judicial activism do not always strictly follow the original meaning of the Constitution or almost never overturn elected - body decisions. Also, judges do not run for elected office as part of judicial activism. Deferring only to elected officials acting within constitutional authority is more in line with a more passive judicial stance rather than activism.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct as they do not accurately describe the doctrine of judicial activism.
