The excerpt describes:

A. the principle of judicial review.

  • Judicial review is the power of a court to examine the constitutionality of legislative acts and government actions. When two laws conflict, the court must interpret and apply the Constitution, which serves as the supreme law of the land, to determine how each law operates in relation to constitutional principles.
