For an organization to have standing, it must show that:

A. the majority of its members satisfy the standing test.

B. it is capable of representing the members.

C. it has a special interest and expertise in the subject of the litigation.

D. it is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

is it B

2. The power of judicial review extends to __________ action.
A. congressional

B. executive

C. state

D. All of the above

is it D

I agree with your answers.

To have standing in what context? To file a suit in court? If so, no, B is not enough. Usually it must have been harmed in some measurable way by the action being disputed. Just representing an opposing viewpoint is not usually enough to have "standing." On question 2, you are correct.

so for number 1 should i go with C or A i'm so confused

I think it's A. The standing test has to do with harm done. Just last year the Supreme Court turned down (did not hear) an appeal of the marriage ruling in California because the group that brought the suit was not harmed in any way by the lower court decisions, therefore did not have standing. The group doing the suing disagreed with the decision that barring same sex couples from marrying was unconstitutional, but its members were not harmed.

Answers:

Correct A. That the majority of its members satisfies the standing test

I answered C, but the correct answer was A.

To determine the correct answer for the first question, "For an organization to have standing, it must show that:", we need to understand what standing means in the legal context.

Standing refers to the legal right of an individual or organization to bring a case before a court. In order to have standing, certain requirements must be met.

Option A states that the majority of an organization's members should satisfy the standing test. While it is true that having a majority of members who satisfy the test could strengthen an organization's standing, it is not a mandatory requirement.

Option B states that the organization must be capable of representing its members. This is a fundamental requirement for an organization to have standing. If an organization cannot adequately represent its members, it may not have standing.

Option C states that the organization must have a special interest and expertise in the subject of the litigation. This is another important factor in determining standing. The organization needs to demonstrate a particular interest and expertise in the issue being litigated.

Option D states that the organization must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While registration with the SEC may be necessary for certain types of organizations, it is not a requirement for standing in general.

Based on the explanations provided, the correct answer to the first question would be C. It is necessary for an organization to have a special interest and expertise in the subject of the litigation to establish standing.

For the second question, "The power of judicial review extends to __________ action," we need to understand the concept of judicial review.

Judicial review is the power of the courts to review the actions and decisions of other branches of government to determine their constitutionality. It allows the judicial branch to declare a law or action unconstitutional and therefore invalid.

Option A states that judicial review extends to congressional action. This is correct because the courts have the power to review and potentially invalidate laws passed by the legislative branch (Congress).

Option B states that judicial review extends to executive action. This is also correct because the courts can review and potentially invalidate actions and decisions made by the executive branch (president, executive agencies).

Option C states that judicial review extends to state action. This is correct as well because the courts can review and potentially invalidate state laws or actions that conflict with the Constitution.

Option D states that judicial review extends to all of the above. This is the correct answer because the power of judicial review extends to all three branches of government: congressional, executive, and state actions.

Therefore, the correct answer for the second question is D. The power of judicial review extends to all of the above actions.
