Erica Friedman · Answer 2

B. The Supreme Court must be careful not to overstep its constitutional authority when overturning a law.

Explanation:

A Supreme Court justice who believes strongly in judicial restraint would most likely try to remember the limitations that the Supreme Court is bound to. Therefore, it is more likely that this justice would be careful of not overstepping its constitutional authority when overturning a law. This, however, is not a universal view among justices.
