Judicial activism and judicial restraint in India?
(note: this explanation assumes understanding of several U.S. landmark cases) Judicial activism is closely tied with the personal standpoint of "liberal." It is basically being more "activist" or more in turn with "adding" to the U.S. Constitution rather than merely interpreting it (judicial restraint). Three major cases that have been touted as judicial activism abuse include Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Brown v. Board of Education (abortion, homosexuality, and racial segregation, respectively). Without judicial activism, the U.S. would still be stuck with the Dredd Scott decision and Plessy v. Ferguson, regarding African Americans' rights. Without judicial activism, Lochner v. New York would stand as a legal precendent, and the minimum wage would be illegal on the basis that it violates the right to business contracts. Additionally, it could be argued that judicial activism is necessary because it is difficult to decide court cases based on the U.S. Constitution when the framers' are long dead, their intent unknown, and the Constitution written in an age before the modern or digital age.
What branch is the chief justice of the US Supreme Court from?

What kind of restraint does the US Supreme Court uphold?
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.
