What are the checks of the judicial branch?

Answer 1

The judiciary can be checked by self-imposed limits, presidential appointments, executive enforcement, congressional powers, and federalism. However, the judiciary is still the most powerful branch of government.

None, once they become justices -- the senate confirms you as a justice. The only "checks" they have is themselves and the other justices. Some purests would say the Constitution -- but the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. It is actually the best branch of government (in my opinion). You are appointed for life and no one can make you leave. In theory, the Judiciary only acts at the request of the Executive Branch or The People when someone is charged with a crime and they decide if the law in question is Constitutional or not. The ultimate check on the Judiciary is the Legislature's ability, with approval of 3/4 of the states, to ammend the Constitution. Unfortunately, this option has seldom been applied.

Answer 2

The checks on the judicial branch are mainly collectively done by the executive and legislative branches. These are aimed at ensuring that the rule of the law is enhanced in every possible way without violation of the Constitution.

Answer 3

The United States Judicial Branch also known as the Supreme Court has the power of judicial review where they can examine any law on the state or federal level to ensure that it is within the bounds of the Constitution.

Answer 4

Congress builds a bill into a law, and passes it to the President for approval. When a law is passed but does not meet all of the constituional rights of the people, then the judicial branch jumps in and stops the law.

Another View: The question asks for TWO checks, and the original answer only describes only one. And THAT is correctly described. That is the only check the judicial branch exercises over the other branches. The Judicial Branch does not make, nor does it enforce, any laws. They can only interpret the laws that have been enacted and rule on their constitutionality and application.

Answer 5

The Judicial Branch is given the power to interpret the laws. It has the following checks over the Executive Branch:

• Judges, once appointed for life, are free from controls from the executive branch
• Courts can judge executive actions to be unconstitutional through the power of judicial review

The Judicial Branch has the following checks over the Legislative Branch:

• Courts can judge legislative acts to be unconstitutional.

The American system of checks and balances has worked well over the course of America's history. Even though some huge clashes have occurred when vetoes have been overridden or appointees have been rejected, these occasions are rare. The system was meant to keep the three branches in balance. Even though there have been times when one branch has risen preeminent, overall the three branches have achieved a workable balance with no one branch holding all the governmental power.

Answer 6

one for example, is the judicial review.
