The people are the power of the government

Has to have limits
The Judicial Review is about the courts deciding the actions of the other branches, Executive and Legislative. The Judicial branch needs to make sure that the government is following the Constitution. They also need to be sure no branch is getting too much power as well.
the courts has to decide the validity of acts in the other branches?
A Limited Government is basically the government does have limits. The government has to have limits too so it doesn’t get drunk with power. So if the people notice the government is being unfair than they have the rights to stop them and tell them that what they are doing is unfair or equal.
