Answer to Question 1

Judicial activism is the philosophy of using one's powers as a judge to do more than interpret the Constitution or laws by avoiding precedent and handing down decisions with sweeping implications for the future. A judicially active judge favors judge-made law and looks more to the future than the past.

Often activism decisions have broad implications and may have sweeping and general language. Kyllo v. United States is an example of judicial activism.

Answer to Question 2

callous-unemotional
