Why should judicial review not be seen as distrust of democratic majority?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it keeps majority decisions within the limits of the Constitution and fundamental rights

The correct answer is A. Judicial review allows courts to examine a law or government action and check whether it follows the Constitution. Democracy includes majority rule, but the majority is also bound by constitutional limits and fundamental rights. These limits protect every citizen, including minorities and people who cannot influence the majority. A is correct because review supports constitutional government rather than showing hostility to voters. B describes a distorted idea and does not explain the purpose of judicial review. C is wrong because courts do not automatically cancel every parliamentary law; they may invalidate a law or part of it only when it conflicts with the Constitution. D is wrong because judges do not replace voters in choosing representatives. Memory cue: majority rule operates within constitutional rule.
