| Summary: |
In this paper I discuss the conflicting relationship between the “judicial activism” and representative democratic procedures.

Second, we discuss patterns of arguments that are used by courts to decide politically controversial issues as well as political and institutional factors that stimulate the occurrence of “activists” positions. |
