Enforcement Lawmaking and Judicial Review
February 16, 2023

The government’s role in lawmaking is an important part of the legal landscape. While most people are familiar with judicial review, they may not realize that there are other ways in which courts can invalidate legislation. This article will explore some of these methods and how they apply to different types of legislation.
There are a variety of ways in which courts can invalidate legislation. One way is through judicial review, which allows federal courts to strike down laws that they believe are unconstitutional. However, there are other methods by which courts can nullify legislation as well.
The Enforceability of Legislation
The judiciary is a branch of government that performs three functions:
- To ensure that all laws are constitutional, by reviewing the constitutionality of any law passed by Congress or the state legislature.
- To ensure that all laws are enforceable, by determining if the executive branch has followed established procedures for enforcing them. (Note: The courts do not have the power to order anyone to do anything.)
- To interpret statutes and rules to give them meaning in light of their purposes and objectives as understood by reasonable people in similar circumstances who know how things work but may not be experts in business or law enforcement issues.
Judicial Review and the Enforceability of Legislation
In judicial review, the courts may declare a law unconstitutional and strike it down. In this case, the court would be ruling that the legislature has exceeded its powers under the constitution. But if a law remains in force despite being declared unconstitutional by a court of law, then this means that all subsequent legislation passed by parliament must be held to strict scrutiny (the highest level of scrutiny).
The scope of judicial review
The scope of judicial review is the extent to which the courts can review the legislation. Judicial review is a process that allows the courts to decide whether legislation is constitutional or not. The courts use several different tests to determine whether legislation is constitutional, including:
Formalism, purposive, and textualism. The formalist approach to judicial review is based on the idea that legislation should be interpreted by its text. If a law’s meaning is clear, then it will be upheld by the courts; if not, then it will not be.
The purposive approach focuses on the purpose of legislation rather than its wording. Purposivists believe that lawmakers do not intend their laws to be read-only literally but also in terms of their purpose and intent (what they meant when they passed them).
- Whether there was any intent by parliamentarians in passing it?
- How effectively does it achieve its aims?
- Is it consistent with what parliament has already passed in similar circumstances?
Lawmaking is a very important part of the government.
Lawmaking is a very important part of the government. The law, which is the basic framework of society, can be thought of as rules that must be followed by everyone for society to function properly.
Lawmakers make laws through the legislative process: they decide what laws will be made and how they should be enforced by their courts. For example, if we had a law saying “no one may harm another person without their consent,” then people would not need any other laws because those were all that was necessary to keep everyone safe from violence (and maybe even theft).
Conclusion
In conclusion, lawmaking is an important part of the government. It is the responsibility of lawmakers to make sure that laws are enforceable and will be upheld by courts if necessary.
This means that lawmakers must be careful about how they write their laws so that judges can interpret them accurately and fairly. If a law does not meet this standard or does not pass judicial review before it becomes effective, then it may be struck down by an appellate court before it becomes effective as well.
