-
B.

-
C.
Australia
-
D.
Canada
Correct Answer:
A. USA
Explanation:
The concept of Judicial Review in the Indian Constitution is borrowed from the USA. Although the term is not explicitly mentioned in the text of the Constitution, the power is derived from various provisions such as Articles 13, 32, 131-136, 143, and 226. This doctrine allows the judiciary to examine the constitutionality of legislative enactments and executive actions. The landmark American case Marbury v. Madison (1803), led by Chief Justice John Marshall, established the foundation for this principle, which the framers of the Indian Constitution subsequently adopted to ensure constitutional supremacy and protect fundamental rights.
