the judiciary has the power of judicial review, which allows them to interpret the Constitution and determine if actions taken by the executive or legislative branches are in violation of it. This check is important to limited government because it ensures the branches of government are operating within the confines of the Constitution and prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful. By having the ability to check and balance the actions of the other branches, the judiciary helps maintain the balance of power and prevents any branch from overstepping its authority.
