How does the judiciary check the power of the general assembly?

By declaring law unenforceable
By proposing amendments
By enacting new laws
By calling for a referendum

The correct answer is: By declaring law unenforceable

The judiciary checks the power of the general assembly by declaring laws unenforceable if they are found to be unconstitutional. This allows the judiciary to act as a check on the power of the legislative branch, ensuring that laws passed by the general assembly do not violate the rights and liberties protected by the constitution. The other options, while they may also serve as checks and balances within the government, do not specifically address the power of the general assembly. B, proposing amendments, is a power of the executive branch. C, enacting new laws, is a power of the legislative branch itself. And D, calling for a referendum, is a power of the people, not the judiciary. Therefore, these options are incorrect in the context of checking the power of the general assembly.
