1. Judicial review

   Judicial review is a process under which executive, legislative and administrative actions are subject to review by the judiciary.: 79  A court with authority for judicial review may invalidate laws, acts and governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority: an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority. The doctrine varies between jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review may differ between and within countries.

1. judicial review

   Judicial review is a process by which the judiciary branch of government reviews and evaluates laws, regulations, and executive and legislative actions, for their constitutionality and legality. It is the fundamental principle that allows courts, particularly the highest court in the jurisdiction, to assess if a law or activity infringes upon individuals' constitutional rights. If it is found to be unconstitutional or illegal, the court has the power to invalidate or revoke it.

1. Judicial review

   Judicial review is the doctrine under which legislative and executive actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A specific court with judicial review power must annul the acts of the state when it finds them incompatible with a higher authority. Judicial review is an example of check and balances in a modern governmental system. This principle is interpreted differently in different jurisdictions, which also have differing views on the different hierarchy of governmental norms. As a result, the procedure and scope of judicial review differs from country to country and state to state.
