Explanation
Judicial activism describes an active, assertive role of courts in protecting rights and advancing justice, sometimes by entering areas usually handled by the legislature or the executive. Original jurisdiction means a court's power to hear a case at the first instance, not an activist posture. Judicial review is the power to test laws or executive actions against the Constitution; it is narrower than the description given. Appellate jurisdiction means hearing appeals from lower courts, which is unrelated to intervention for social justice.
