This article examines various theories formulated by the Supreme Court based on jurisprudence, such as the bifurcation theory, the solar eclipse theory, and the future release theory. Administrative action. This paper further discusses the state of judicial review in the US and UK. Judicial review resulted largely from the landmark case Madison. v. Marbury1. However, Lord Coke's original decision Dr. Bonham v. Cambridge University established the first domain of judicial review in England in 16102. This article discusses how the US Constitution does not explicitly provide powers of judicial review, but Articles 3 and 6 of the US Constitution refer to the concept. As the British Empire does not have a written constitution, this article also looks at the principle of "parliamentary sovereignty" that prevails in constitutional democracy.
