Question

Sue and Tim are arguing about the value of appointing rather than electing federal judges. Tim says they are appointed because they need to be independent. What does he mean?

Judges do not depend on voter will to keep their jobs. If that were the case, then judges would make decisions based on popular will rather than interpretations of law.

Judges receive their commissions from the president so they are independent in the sense that only the president needs to approve their decisions, not other officials.

Answer 1

Judges are like other federal officials and must consider the people's will when deciding a case. They consult with other officials and the president to make decisions.

Answer 9

In the U.S. Constitution, the principle of democracy is

evident through creation of a republican government, which is the same as democracy

reflected because the people can elect their leaders and petition the government

absent because of the creation of a republican government run by only a few

missing because the people have no role or effect on the legislative branch

Answer 10

?

Answer 11

B) Reflected because the people can elect their leaders and petition the government.

It can't be A because a Republican government isn't necessarily a democracy.
It can't be C because it wasn't absent at all!
It can't be D because it wasn't missing either!

Answer 12

Thank you :)
