What is the main meaning of judicial review?

Correct answer: Court examining laws and government actions with the Constitution

Correct answer: A. Judicial review is the power and duty of courts to examine whether a law, executive action, or other government measure is consistent with the Constitution and applicable law. If a measure violates a constitutional requirement, the court may grant an appropriate remedy according to its jurisdiction. A is correct because it captures this constitutional check and protects the supremacy of the Constitution. B is wrong because declaring or resolving election results is not the general meaning of judicial review, even though courts may hear certain election-related legal disputes. C is wrong because courts do not spend or administer the public Budget. D is wrong because appointing ministers is a function of the political executive under constitutional arrangements, not judicial review. Judicial review does not mean that judges make every policy choice; it tests legality and constitutionality. Memory cue: review asks, “Does this government action fit the Constitution?”
