Judicial Restraint Vs. Judicial Activism

Both Judicial Restraint and Judicial Activism are methods that the Supreme Court justices follow in order to complete their job. Judicial Restraint refers to the act of strictly following the Constitution and refraining from letting political bias interfere with their job as a justice. Judicial Activism is the act of justices using the power of the Supreme Court to create legislation in regard to the justices political bias. In my personal opinion, Judicial Restraint is the proper method for a Supreme Court justice to base their decisions off of. Keeping the Constitution as the most powerful law of the land is the most important ideal of a justice. The Supreme Court should refrain from regarding legislation with their personal political bias.
