Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Judicial review allows courts to invalidate laws and decisions made by the legislative and executive branches, which can conflict with majority rule (the principle that the decision of the majority should be accepted by all) and popular sovereignty (the principle that the authority of a state and its government is created and sustained by the consent of its people, through their elected representatives). This can be seen as undemocratic by some, as it allows unelected judges to overturn decisions made by democratically elected officials.
