Which of the following makes the Judiciary, the guardian of the Constitution?
Judicial review
Judicial review — the power of courts to examine and strike down laws or actions that violate the Constitution — is what makes the Judiciary the guardian of the Constitution.
Independence and service conditions support judicial functioning but are not themselves the guarding mechanism, and judicial overreach is a criticism, not a constitutional safeguard.
Hence, judicial review is the correct answer.
