A check the judicial branch has on the legislative branch is the power of judicial review. This allows the courts to interpret and determine the constitutionality of laws passed by the legislature. This check is important to limited government because it ensures that the actions of the legislative branch are in line with the Constitution, preventing them from overstepping their boundaries and infringing on individual rights. By holding the legislature accountable through judicial review, the judicial branch helps maintain a system of checks and balances that prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful.
