{
  "id": "MLC-T-LAW-003788",
  "term": "Political question doctrine",
  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "A principle of judicial restraint in U.S. constitutional law, under which federal courts refuse to hear cases that involve issues deemed to be within the exclusive purview of the executive or legislative branches. This doctrine prevents courts from interfering with the operations of other governmental branches on matters that are inherently political. It is based on the separation of powers and the idea that some disputes are better resolved through political processes rather than judicial intervention.",
