This paper uses a formal model to analyze the impact of judicial review on democratic failure. It presents a brief overview of the debate about judicial review and develops a simple political agency model to investigate how institutional change affects the incidence and impact on democratic failure. The authors find two possible effects of judicial review: first, it may 'bail out' elected officials and increase democratic failure, or second, judicial (dis)approval may affect public opinion and decrease democratic failure.
