Does 'against' work?
Context:
Actually all laws can be judicially reviewed AGAINST the Constitution
(For example if one law is found to be in violation of the Constitution, a group of people will file a request for a judicial review with the constitutional court. And the result in my context is that the law is eventually revoked/annulled)

Yet surely the underlying structure of our judicial system is correct. The constitution states general principles of governance and is amended by a supermajority of Congressional and state legislators. Meanwhile, more specific laws are passed by a simple majority in Congress, allowing society to respond quickly to changing circumstances, and are reviewed for constitutionality by an independent and expert Supreme Court. How can this system be fundamentally improved?
