Question

which of the following demonstrated a judicial check on legislative power? multiple choice passing the defense of marriage act (doma) implementing doma signing doma into law declaring doma unconstitutional

Explanation:

To determine a judicial check on legislative power, we analyze each option:

• "Passing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)" is a legislative action (Congress passes laws), so it's not judicial.
• "Implementing DOMA" is an executive or administrative action (enforcing laws), not judicial.
• "Signing DOMA into law" is an executive action (president signs bills), not judicial.
• "Declaring DOMA unconstitutional" is a judicial action (courts review laws for constitutionality, checking legislative power).

Answer:

D. Declaring DOMA unconstitutional
