The power of the courts to review the decisions of another branch or level of government is known as judicial review. This authority allows courts to assess the constitutionality and legality of legislative and executive actions, ensuring that they comply with the law and constitutional principles. Judicial review acts as a check and balance within the government, protecting individual rights and maintaining the rule of law. This principle is a cornerstone of many democratic systems, including the United States, where it was established in the landmark case Marbury v. Madison.
