For the first question, "The power of judicial review extends to __________ action," the correct answer is D. All of the above. Judicial review allows the courts to review and potentially invalidate actions taken by all three branches of government - congressional, executive, and state. To arrive at this answer, you can break down the question and consider the concept of judicial review. Judicial review is the power of the courts to examine the constitutionality of laws and actions by the government. It was established in the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison in 1803. Based on this understanding, we can determine that judicial review applies to actions taken by all branches of government, as they can all potentially violate the Constitution.
For the second question, "A judge who follows an interpretive approach that focuses on the precise meaning of the text of the Constitution in 1787 is best described as a(n):", the correct answer is A. originalist. This question tests your understanding of different interpretive approaches to constitutional law. An originalist judge interprets the Constitution based on its original meaning at the time it was written. They seek to understand and apply the precise intent of the framers and ratifiers of the Constitution. To answer this question, you need to be familiar with the concept of originalism and its focus on the original text and historical context of the Constitution. By choosing option A, you correctly identify the judge as an originalist.
