The correct response is:

Judicial restraint means the court does not get involved; judicial activism means the court reviews the action.

Judicial restraint refers to the tendency of courts to limit their own power and defer to the decisions of the legislative and executive branches, while judicial activism involves the court taking a more active role in policy-making and interpreting the law to promote justice or address significant social issues.
