Describe one factor that checks or limits the power of judicial review?

Answer 1

1. Supreme court justices are appointed by the executive branch and are approved by the judicial branch
2. If the Supreme court declares a law unconstitutionally, the legislative branch can then pass (and the executive branch can sign ) a law that is worded in a way that is constitutional.
3. The constitution can be amended to get around a Supreme Court ruling that a law is unconstitutional. For example, when Congress first passed a law implementing an income tax, the supreme court struck it down as unconstitutional. There ratification of the Sixteenth amendment in 1913, however, made such a tax clearly constitutional.hdfaljdfnajfalsk jlfad

Answer 2

1. Supreme Court justices are appointed by the executive branch and approved by the legislative branch. Theoretically, this process weeds out any power-hungry crazy people.
2. If the Supreme Court declares a law unconstitutional, the legislative branch can then pass (and the executive branch can sign) a law that is worded in a way so that it is constitutional.
3. The Constitution can be amended to get around a Supreme Court ruling that a law is unconstitutional. For example, when Congress first passed a law implementing an income tax, the Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional. The ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913, however, made such a tax clearly constitutional.

Also, you should know that the Supreme Court can't just pick any law out of the blue and declare it unconstitutional. Before the Supreme Court can act, an outside power must challenge the law and bring it before the Court.

Which tells you that the power of judicial review may be awesome, but it's not limitless.
