Which branch serves as a 'check' on the others?

• A. Administrative Court
• B. Judicial
• C. Executive
• D. Legislative

Answer: (B)

Judicial review and constitutional interpretation give the judiciary the authority to limit both the legislative and the executive. By interpreting laws and resolving constitutional questions, the courts can strike down or require changes to laws or actions that violate the Constitution. This power creates a check on both other branches because it can prevent legislative overreach and curb executive actions that overstep constitutional authority. While the other branches have their own checks—like how laws must fit constitutional limits or how the executive can veto legislation—the unique mechanism that directly constrains both of the others is the judiciary’s ability to review and overturn unconstitutional measures.
