someone who believes that judges should stick close to the literal meaning of the words in the constitution is an advocate of which of the following?
- judicial activism
- judicial restraint
- judicial reformism
- none of the above
Judicial restraint is a theory that judges should limit the exercise of their own power. It emphasizes that judges should stick closely to the text of the law (in this case, the Constitution) and not expand their power through broad interpretations. Judicial activism, on the other hand, is when judges are more willing to strike down laws and use their power to make social and political change. Judicial reformism is not a standard recognized term in this context like judicial activism and judicial restraint.
