1. The Constitution grants judicial power to the Supreme Court. To find this information, you can refer to Article III of the United States Constitution, which establishes the judiciary branch and outlines the powers and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
2. To determine examples of judicial restraint in the Supreme Court, you need to analyze each statement and identify the ones that align with the concept of judicial restraint. Judicial restraint refers to a philosophy where judges prefer to limit their own power and defer to the decisions of elected officials and established legal precedent. Therefore, the correct examples of judicial restraint in the given options are:
- The verdict is narrowly for the defendant, letting the previous verdict stand.
- The court uses previous cases as examples of what path to follow in their verdict.
- The court refuses to hear a case.
3. In this excerpt, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is arguing that the protection of free speech is important, but there are some cases in which personal expression is irresponsible and can be banned. He suggests that there are circumstances where speech can create a clear and present danger to the public and that Congress has the right to prevent such substantive evils. Therefore, the correct answer is "The protection of free speech is important, but there are some cases in which personal expression is irresponsible and can be banned."
4. An example of prior restraint is when the military censors a reporter's articles when the reporter is embedded with a military unit in the field. Prior restraint refers to the government's ability to prevent the publication or dissemination of specific information before it is published or shared. In this case, the military is censoring the reporter's articles to control the information that is made public. Therefore, the correct answer is "The military censors a reporter's articles when the reporter is embedded with a military unit in the field."
5. The general rule used by the Supreme Court when deciding if civil disobedience is a constitutionally protected right is that civil disobedience is not protected if carried out on public property but has First Amendment protection on private property. This means that individuals engaging in civil disobedience may be subject to legal consequences if they break any laws on public property but have more protection under the First Amendment if their actions occur on private property. Therefore, the correct answer is "Acts of civil disobedience are not protected if carried out on public property but have First Amendment protection on private property."
6. The entity that can check the appointment power of the president is the Senate. The president can appoint individuals to various positions within the government, but those appointments need to be confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate. Therefore, the correct answer is "Senate."
7. The branch that the president checks by appointing Supreme Court justices is the judicial branch. The president has the power to nominate individuals for vacancies in the Supreme Court, and once appointed, these justices serve as members of the judicial branch. Therefore, the correct answer is "judicial branch."
8. A soldier in the U.S. Army who does not return to his post following a leave and is charged with desertion would have his case heard in a court-martial. A court-martial is a military court that deals with cases involving members of the armed forces and their violations of military laws. Therefore, the correct answer is "court-martial."
9. The entity that has the power to create the inferior courts of the national judiciary is Congress. Under Article III, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, Congress has the authority to create and establish the inferior courts of the federal judiciary, which include the district courts and courts of appeals. Therefore, the correct answer is "Congress."
10. In the federal court system, the cases tried by the district courts make up the majority of federal cases brought to trial. District courts are the trial courts of the federal judicial system and handle a wide range of both civil and criminal cases. While some cases may be appealed to a higher court, the district courts are responsible for the initial trial and decision-making process in the federal court system. Therefore, the correct answer is "make up the majority of federal cases brought to trial."
