Abstract

The article presents an essay on the general case against judicial review of legislation. It criticizes the judicial review for its lack of reason to suppose the rights are better protected than they would be by democratic legislatures. Also, the essay argues that judicial review is democratically illegitimate. The essay claims that the case against judicial review is not absolute or unconditional because the society in question has good working democratic institutions.
