LEGISLATIVE PRIVILEGES AND JUDICIAL REVIEW: A STUDY OF CONSTITUTIONAL BALANCE

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationship between legislative privileges and judicial review within the framework of constitutional law. As democratic societies navigate the delicate balance between legislative authority and judicial oversight, the interplay of these two elements becomes crucial for upholding the rule of law and protecting fundamental rights. The research examines pertinent case law and constitutional provisions that delineate the boundaries of legislative privileges while scrutinizing the role of judicial review in maintaining accountability. By analyzing the historical evolution of these concepts and their application in contemporary contexts, this paper aims to illuminate the challenges and tensions that arise in the quest for equilibrium between legislative independence and judicial guardianship. Ultimately, this study advocates for a nuanced understanding of the constitutional balance that respects legislative functions while ensuring that judicial review serves as a vital check against potential abuses of power.
