judicial review
Dorcas Tremblay
The Supreme Court checks both the legislative and executive branches through its power of judicial review. It can declare acts of Congress or actions taken by the president unconstitutional, nullifying them. Additionally, the Court can interpret laws passed by Congress and executive orders issued by the president, ensuring they align with the Constitution. This ability to review and overturn legislative and executive actions serves as a check on their powers.
