The primary role of the judicial branch in protecting individual rights is best represented by the following option:
**2. deciding whether a law is constitutional.**
The judicial branch, particularly through the courts, interprets laws and ensures they comply with the Constitution. This includes reviewing laws to determine if they infringe on individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution, thus acting as a check on the legislative and executive branches to protect citizens' rights.
The other options do not accurately reflect the primary function of the judicial branch in relation to individual rights.
