The correct answer is:

- Judicial restraint means the court does not get involved; it exercises self-restraint and defers to the decisions made by the legislative and executive branches. It interprets the Constitution narrowly and avoids making policy decisions.
- Judicial activism, on the other hand, means the court takes an active role in shaping and interpreting the law. It exercises its own preferences and values, often expanding the scope of individual rights and making policy decisions that go beyond what is explicitly stated in the Constitution.
