Using the source, explain how the power of the UK Parliament is kept in check.
One way Parliament's power is checked is through judicial review, where high courts check if a law was made 'lawfully and fairly.' This upholds the rule of law by ensuring the government is not above the law. It's conducted by the independent judiciary, which can declare government actions 'ultra vires' (beyond their legal power). A second check is select committees, which the source calls 'watchdogs.' These cross-party groups of MPs investigate government departments, for example, questioning ministers and publishing critical reports. This holds the government accountable to Parliament and the public. Finally, the UK's bicameral system provides a check, as the House of Lords revises and can delay legislation from the Commons. Its members, often experts, scrutinise bills in detail, preventing the government from passing laws without thorough consideration.

It also says that Parliament has a "seperate group of MPs from many different" political parties to form "select committees" which shows that there is also an unbiased and impartial opinion towards the law. I know that select committes are also apart of the many stages of law making as they act as a second evaluative party after the House of Commons have passed a law...

Firstly, we're told that, "the high courts can use judicial review...to check whether it was made lawfully and fairly". This is a strong point as Judicial review prevents those in power from reaching dictatorship-level-authroity, ensuring everyone is below the law (the rule of law). I personally know that the UK Parliament's power is also contolled through several stages of creating a law. For example, there are many stages e.g green paper, 1st reading, 2nd reading etc which involves scrutinising the new law... We're also told that "small groups of MPs.... act like 'watchdogs', scrutinising the work of the government". This is a significant point as I know that this is public to the people, so the parliament's power must remain below the rule of law otherwise they will not be elected by the public. Lastly, I know that the UK potitionent's power is also kept in check before they go into power, for example, they must provide a manifesto... without a manifesto, the government cannot be watched over...
