Answer 1

Judicial activism is best described as the idea that **A. judicial rulings appear to be based on personal opinions or considerations and not the constitution**. This term typically refers to instances where judges are said to interpret the law in ways that reflect their own beliefs or values, rather than strictly adhering to established legal precedents or the literal text of the Constitution.
