A check the judicial branch has on the legislative branch is the power of judicial review. This allows the Supreme Court to interpret laws passed by Congress and declare them unconstitutional if they violate the Constitution. This check is important to limited government because it prevents the legislative branch from exceeding its powers and ensures that laws are in alignment with the principles outlined in the Constitution. By holding the legislative branch accountable, the judicial branch helps maintain a system of checks and balances, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful.
