How can the judicial branch check the power of the legislative branch?

By vetoing legislation
Declaring acts of legislature unconstitutional
Impeaching legislators
Overriding vetoes

The correct answer is: Declaring acts of legislature unconstitutional

The judicial branch has the power of judicial review, which means it can review laws passed by the legislative branch and declare them unconstitutional if they violate the Constitution. This serves as a way to check the power of the legislative branch and maintain balance between the different branches of government. Options A, C, and D do not pertain to the powers of the judicial branch and are not effective ways for the branch to check the power of the legislative branch. Option A is a power held by the executive branch, while option C pertains to the power of the legislative branch to remove its own members from office. Option D pertains to the powers of the legislative branch to override executive vetoes. Thus, option B is the most appropriate and specific answer to the question.
