The correct answer is Checks and balances. The idea of judicial review revolves around the ability of the Supreme Court to determine whether or not a law is constitutional. This shows a system of checks and balances because the Supreme Court can declare any law made by the legislative or executive branch as unconstitutional (aka illegal). This ensures that the US Congress and the president make laws that will not violate the rights of US citizens.
