A check the judicial branch has on the legislative branch is judicial review.
This check is important to limited government because it allows the judiciary to ensure that laws passed by the legislative branch are constitutional. By having the power to review and potentially overturn legislation that goes against the principles of the Constitution, the judicial branch helps prevent potential abuses of power by the legislative branch and ensures that the government operates within the limits established by the Constitution. This maintains the system of checks and balances that are crucial for limited government and protection of individual rights.
