The two primary schools of thought regarding judicial review are judicial activism and judicial restraint. Judicial activism advocates for a robust role of the judiciary in interpreting the Constitution and often supports overturning laws or executive actions that are seen as unjust or unconstitutional, emphasizing the court's role in protecting individual rights. In contrast, judicial restraint emphasizes a more limited role for the judiciary, advocating that courts should defer to the decisions of the legislative and executive branches unless there is a clear violation of the Constitution, thus promoting stability and respect for democratic processes.

The Judicial Branch has the power of Judicial Review. They have the ability to review decisions made by the other two branches of government, and they have to measures to allow or prevent them from occurring.
No. They are two differenct processes.
The power of Judicial Review is the major check that the judicial branch has over the other two (legislative and executive) branches of the U.S. government. Judicial review allows the federal courts to rule actions of the President and Congress unconstitutional, and thus overturn them.
None of the three branches of government have more power than the other two. They do, however, have different responsibilities. The judicial branch has the power to declare a law unconstitutional, for example.
Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)John Marshall is frequently credited with establishing the doctrine of judicial review. Judicial review allows for the Supreme Court to rule a law unconstitutional, in effect nullifying the law. Judicial review is an example of a check the judicial branch has against the legislative branch.
The Rule of Law is a principle that ensures all individuals and institutions are accountable to the law, which is applied fairly and consistently. Judicial Review is the process by which courts assess the constitutionality of legislative and executive actions, serving as a mechanism to uphold the Rule of Law. By allowing courts to invalidate laws or actions that contravene the constitution, Judicial Review reinforces the Rule of Law by ensuring that no one is above the law and that rights are protected. Thus, the two concepts are intertwined, as Judicial Review functions as a safeguard for the Rule of Law in democratic societies.

Congress controls budget, can impeach president, and can override presidential vetoes. The Supreme Court has judicial review.
