Solution

The incorrect statement is:

b. Decisions made by the judiciary must be consistent with the policies and objectives of the executive government.

This is incorrect because in a system that follows the rule of law, the judiciary is independent and makes decisions based on the law, not on the policies or objectives of the executive branch. This separation of powers is crucial to ensure checks and balances within the system.
