Which institution is called the guardian of the Constitution?

Correct answer: Judiciary

Answer: A, the judiciary. The Constitution is the highest law of the country, so every law and government action must follow it. The Supreme Court and High Courts interpret the Constitution and use judicial review to examine whether laws or official actions are constitutional. If a law violates constitutional provisions, a court can declare it invalid, subject to the limits of its jurisdiction. A, the judiciary, performs this protective role. B, the legislature, mainly makes laws; it does not finally judge whether its own law follows the Constitution. C, the executive implements laws and policies, but it cannot replace constitutional review by courts. D, the Election Commission conducts and supervises elections, not constitutional judicial review. Memory cue: protecting and interpreting the Constitution points to the judiciary.
