How does the judiciary check the power of the governor?

By declaring laws unconstitutional
By appointing judiciary members
By enacting legislation
By approving budgets

The correct answer is: By declaring laws unconstitutional

The judiciary is responsible for interpreting and upholding the laws of a country. This includes checking the power of the governor by declaring any laws or actions taken by the governor as unconstitutional. This helps to ensure that the governor does not overstep their boundaries and maintains the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly involve the judiciary in checking the power of the governor. Option B may seem correct as the judiciary is responsible for appointing its own members, but this does not directly relate to checking the power of the governor. Options C and D involve the legislative branch and the budget process, which is not within the jurisdiction of the judiciary. Therefore, option A is the correct and most direct way in which the judiciary checks the power of the governor.
