Could someone explain what "as a check on the power of the government" mean in any way.
For example Judiciary as a check on the power of the Government / Executive ?
What does as a check / curb on power mean exactly ?
My tutor has handed me a essay explaining about the judicial review process, human rights act and judicial inquiries etc - but could someone explain what "as a check on the power of the government / executive" mean for me to understand the question further
Thank you
