The Supreme Court judges who support judicial activism and judicial restraint most disagree on the answer to the question which asks how broadly should the justices interpret the Constitution.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

The Supreme Court judges who are on the side of judicial activism propose that the power of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution is unlimited whereas the judges who support judicial restraint Believe that their power to interpret the Constitution should be restricted. The two groups of judges disagree on answering the mentioned question because one believes that in order to keep a check on the functioning of the legislature and executive, it is necessary for them to exercise supreme authority. On the other hand, the other group believes that to maintain the equilibrium of the system of checks and balances, their powers should be limited.
