If a court cancels an unconstitutional government order, which principle is applied?

Correct answer: Judicial review

Correct answer: B, judicial review. Judicial review is the power of constitutional courts to examine laws, government orders and executive actions and determine whether they conform to the Constitution. If an order violates constitutional provisions or exceeds legal authority, the court may declare it invalid or quash it, subject to the relevant legal process. B is correct because the question describes a court testing the constitutionality of executive action. A, party discipline, concerns how members of a political party are expected to follow party decisions; it does not allow a court to cancel an order. C, parliamentary privilege, protects certain functions and rights of the legislature and is not the principle described. D, an electoral alliance, is an arrangement between political parties for elections and has no connection with constitutional review. Judicial review does not mean that courts govern the country; it means that government power remains subject to the Constitution. Memory cue: review the government action against the Constitution, and the principle is judicial review.
