The answer is B: The court will rule on the actions of the other branches or judicial precedent.

Explanation:

• A: The court will determine whether there is clear violation of the Constitution and allow elected representatives to decide the outcome.
  This option describes judicial restraint, where courts defer to the decisions of elected branches unless there is a clear constitutional violation.

• B: The court will rule on the actions of the other branches or judicial precedent.
  This is correct for judicial activism, where courts actively interpret the Constitution and may overturn legislative or executive actions, or past precedents, to address perceived injustices or societal needs.

• C: The court will exercise judicial review and refrain from deciding legal issues.
  This is incorrect as it describes a passive approach, more aligned with judicial restraint, not activism.

• D: The court will allow the voting population determine if there is a constitutional issue.
  This is incorrect because it suggests deferring to public opinion, which is not characteristic of judicial activism. Judicial activism involves the court taking an active role in interpreting the Constitution.
