The Supreme Court is able to check the other branches using judicial review through the power granted to it by the Constitution. Judicial review refers to the Court's authority to review the constitutionality of actions taken by the legislative and executive branches. This power allows the Court to declare laws passed by Congress or executive orders issued by the President as unconstitutional, nullifying them and preventing their enforcement. By exercising judicial review, the Supreme Court acts as a final arbiter on the constitutionality of government actions, ensuring that they comply with the principles and provisions outlined in the Constitution. This ability to check the other branches helps maintain the separation of powers and ensures that no branch of government becomes too powerful.
