The concept of Judicial Review in our Constitution has been taken from the Constitution of :
(A) England
(B) USA
(C) Canada
(D) Australia
Answer : B
Explanation : The concept of
Judicial Review, which empowers the judiciary to review and invalidate laws or
governmental actions that are deemed unconstitutional, originates from the
Constitution of the United States. Specifically, it was established by the
landmark case Marbury v. Madison (1803) in the United States, where Chief
Justice John Marshall articulated the principle that the Supreme Court has the
authority to review the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress and to
invalidate those that are found to be in conflict with the Constitution. This
principle has since been adopted and adapted by many other countries, including
those with written constitutions influenced by the U.S. model.
