to keep the president from signing executive orders
to create a balance of power in the government
to give the supreme court power over the other two branches
to prevent the legislative branch from passing unconstitutional laws
check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: The president has the power to sign executive orders, and judicial review isn't meant to stop this entirely, so this is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 2: The system of checks and balances in government ensures that no single branch becomes too powerful. Judicial review by the Supreme Court is a key part of this balance, as it can declare actions of the legislative or executive branches unconstitutional. This aligns with the purpose of judicial review.
• Analyze Option 3: Judicial review is not about giving the Supreme Court power over the other branches, but rather about ensuring each branch operates within constitutional limits. So this is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 4: While judicial review can strike down unconstitutional laws from the legislative branch, its broader purpose is part of the system of checks and balances across all branches (not just preventing legislative overreach). Option 2 is a more comprehensive and accurate description of the necessity of judicial review.

Answer:

B. to create a balance of power in the government
