Judicial review, the power of courts to check government actions against the constitution, is a cornerstone of constitutional democracies. Examining its history and global applications reveals its importance in safeguarding constitutions.In the United States, judicial review emerged from the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison (1803). This established the principle that courts can strike down laws deemed unconstitutional. Judicial review has since played a vital role in protecting individual rights, ensuring government accountability, and interpreting the evolving meaning of the Constitution.Across the globe, judicial review takes various forms. In some countries, it is concentrated in supreme courts, while others have dedicated constitutional courts. Regardless of structure, judicial review serves a similar purpose: upholding the constitution as the supreme law.Studying judicial review comparatively allows us to understand its strengths and weaknesses. It fosters respect for the rule of law and can prevent abuses of power. However, concerns exist about judicial activism and unelected judges making law.Ultimately, judicial review remains a critical tool for safeguarding constitutions, ensuring government operates within constitutional bounds, and protecting fundamental rights

Dr. Jessy, for your Adolescent Psychology course, I propose "Teen Brain: Primed for Addiction." This book explores the science behind why teenagers are more susceptible to addiction. We'll delve into the unique development of the teenage brain, particularly the reward system and prefrontal cortex, which make teens more likely to seek out rewarding experiences and struggle with resisting urges. "Teen Brain" goes beyond biology, analyzing social and environmental factors like peer pressure and technology access that can further heighten risk. This book isn't just about the problem. By understanding how the teenage brain is "primed for addiction," we can empower parents, educators, and mental health professionals with the knowledge and tools to prevent addiction and promote healthy coping mechanisms in adolescents. "Teen Brain" is a valuable resource for anyone who works with teenagers or wants to understand the complex link between brain development, addiction, and adolescent behavior.
