Question

Which of the following explains what happens if the judicial branch finds that a law does not meet the criteria of the rule of law? A. The judicial branch writes a new law to correct the issue b. The judicial branch has no power to fix the problem since it has no law making powers c. The judicial branch declares the law unconstitutional d. The judicial branch writes a request to the legislature branch to have it changed

Answer 1

The correct answer is **c. The judicial branch declares the law unconstitutional**.

When the judicial branch determines that a law does not meet the criteria of the rule of law, it can declare that law unconstitutional, which effectively nullifies it. The other options do not accurately reflect the proper role of the judicial branch in the context of law and constitutional review.
