What does 'judicial revue' mean?

Answer 1

Judicial Review is when a court, in hearing a case, considers whether the law that applies

is valid or consistent

with overarching

legal requirements.

For example, the US Supreme Court once applied Judicial Review to assess the law establishing a national income tax and found that the Constitution (the supreme law of the land) did not permit the Congress to establish such a tax. Therefore the law was null and void, and unenforceable. A Constitutional Amendment was then passed, that permitted the establishment of a national income tax. After than, any judicial review would find that the Congress had been empowered to create such a tax.
