When can judicial review occur over decisions of the political executive?

Correct answer: When decisions appear to violate the Constitution or rights

Correct answer: A. Judicial review is the power of courts to examine whether a law or executive action follows the Constitution. The political executive has important authority, but it is not above constitutional limits. If a government decision appears to violate a constitutional provision or a Fundamental Right, an affected person or institution may bring the matter before the appropriate court, which can assess its legality and constitutional validity. A is correct because violation of the Constitution or rights is the relevant ground. B is wrong because popularity does not make an unconstitutional decision valid. C is wrong because the size or importance of a decision is not the test; even a small action must follow the law. D is wrong because media coverage neither creates nor removes judicial power. The court reviews legality, not whether it agrees with every policy choice. Memory cue: judicial review checks constitutionality, not popularity.
