Good question.
You may mean "judicial restraint," in which the Court upholds earlier precedents, supports enacted law, and interprets the Constitution as closely as possible to the framers' purported intent. While this is supposed to be the ideal position in order to maintain a balance of power among the three branches of government, both liberal and conservative Courts have engaged in judicial activism, overturning long held precedents in favor of advancing a particular social or political agenda.
Many conservatives accused the Warren Court of judicial activism for their decisions advancing individual civil liberties; on the other hand, many liberals have accused the current Roberts' court (and some before it) of practicing judicial activism by making decisions favoring corporate interests to the detriment of individual rights, as in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, (2010) or conservative politicians, as in Bush v. Gore, (2000).
The Court deviates from upholding judicial restraint often enough to make judicial restraint an incorrect answer; nevertheless, it is probably the answer your instructor expects.
