For the first question:
The correct answer is A: Appointed judges are not swayed by public opinion.
To explain how to arrive at the answer, you can analyze the reasoning behind the Framers' decision. The Framers of the U.S. Constitution decided that federal judges should be appointed for life rather than elected every few years to ensure their independence from political pressures. By being appointed, judges are not subjected to the influence of public opinion, allowing them to make impartial and fair decisions based on the rule of law and the Constitution.
For the second question:
The correct answer is D: It expanded the power and scope of the executive office.
To explain how to arrive at the answer, you can analyze the impact of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation on government. The proclamation, issued in 1863, freed Confederate slaves and is often credited with transforming the purpose of the Civil War from solely preserving the Union to also abolishing slavery. By taking this decisive action, Lincoln expanded the power and scope of the executive office, as he used his authority as President to issue the proclamation and make a significant change in policy.
