What kind of protection does judicial review provide in democracy?

Correct answer: Protection from laws and government actions against the Constitution

Correct answer: A. Judicial review is the power of courts to examine whether a law or government action is consistent with the Constitution. If a measure violates constitutional limits, the court may provide an appropriate legal remedy, subject to the constitutional and legal framework. This protects constitutional supremacy and prevents public authorities from exercising power in an arbitrary or unlawful way. Option A is correct because it identifies the real object of judicial review: unconstitutional laws or actions. Option B is unrelated to constitutional adjudication; courts do not guarantee that a person will win every game. Option C is also unrelated because judicial review is not a promise that market prices will remain unchanged. Option D is wrong because judicial review does not always shield a person from election campaigning; election matters are governed by relevant election law and facts. Memory cue: judicial review asks, “Does this law or action agree with the Constitution?”
