Question.3960 - Discussion 12: The Courts No Groups! 1.How does the Supreme Court act as a check on the other two branches of government? Where does the power to do so stem from? You need to explain Marshall’s justification for judicial review. 2. Do you think the power of judicial review violates the principles of representative democracy? Why or why not? A simple no or yes answer is not sufficient. 3. First, provide a brief summary of the judicial philosophies and "tools" (such as history and text) used by Breyer and Scalia when deciding cases (this is located in the supplemental video and essays written by Breyer and Scalia), a short discussion highlighting at least 2 arguments presented by each, and connect to the concept of judicial restraint and activism (see textbook). Finally, in a separate paragraph, discuss which judicial philosophy (Scalia or Breyer) you agreed with and why? Please make sure to include in your discussion a list of the tools used by each.
