Question 10 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

Which of the following is the best example of judicial review?

Answer
A
The Supreme Court agrees to hear a case from the appellate court.
B
The Supreme Court publishes a written explanation of its decision.
C
The Supreme Court declares that a recent law is unconstitutional.
D
The Supreme Court gives its opinion on laws that have not been passed.

Explanation

Judicial review is the power of courts to decide whether a law or government action violates the Constitution. Declaring a recent law unconstitutional is a direct example of that power. Hearing an appeal or publishing an explanation is part of the court process, while giving opinions on laws that have not been passed is not the usual role of the Supreme Court.
