Answer 1

1) The federal judges aren't to be influenced by the other branches- they're actually protected by the US constitution, to be able to do so. This allows them to make decisions based on the law and what is deemed right under the law, exempt from any consequences.

Judicial Restraint -- Judges decide cases based on the original intent of the framers or those who enacted the statute involved in the case

Judicial Activism -- Judges interpret and apply provisions in the constitution and in statute law in the light of ongoing changes in conditions and values
