The supreme court would be called an activist court if it made rulings based on the literal wording in the constitution? cited a number of legal precedents in its decisions. upheld previous rulings about the constitutionality of laws. applied an article of the constitution to a new area of law.

D is the correct answer.

Despite rhetoric implying otherwise, judicial activism indicates a willingness to rule on new areas of the law. It does not indicate a willingness for a judge to "legislature from the bench"

applied an article of the Constitution to a new area of law.

The best answer out of the options is D. Applying an article of the Constitution to a new area of law would be considered judicial activism. Often, actions that are not commonly performed by a court are considered activists. This includes overturning judicial precedent or ruling against a preferred interpretation of the Constitution. It can also refer to judges who let their personal views interfere with their decisions.
