Define judicial activism and judicial restraint. Explain the reasons that the judges would exercise activism or restraint, and tell how Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education were examples of each
Judicial activism and judicial restraint are two different judicial philosophies that define how judges interpret and apply the law.
Judicial activism is a judicial philosophy that emphasizes the significant role of the judiciary in interpreting and applying the law, even if it requires them to consider their personal values and beliefs. Judges who adopt this approach often believe that the Constitution is a living document and should be interpreted taking into account social, economic, and political changes. They may go beyond the plain language of the Constitution and seek to implement new policies and laws that are not explicitly stated in the Constitution.
Judicial restraint is a judicial philosophy that emphasizes the limited role of the judiciary in interpreting and applying the law. Judges who adopt this approach often believe that the judiciary should defer to the legislative branch (elected officials) and avoid making policy decisions. They may be hesitant to strike down laws, preferring to give the legislature the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.
There are various reasons why a judge may exercise activism or restraint. For example, a judge may choose to exercise judicial restraint because they believe that a law is constitutional or that the consequences of judicial intervention could be worse than the present outcome. In contrast, a judge may choose to exercise activism if they believe that a law is unconstitutional or violates the principles of justice and equality.
Plessy v. Ferguson was an example of judicial restraint. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of state laws establishing racial segregation on trains under the separate but equal doctrine. In doing so, the Court deferred to the legislative branch and allowed state governments to continue implementing segregation policies.
Brown v. Board of Education, on the other hand, was an example of judicial activism. The Supreme Court declared that separate educational facilities for black and white students were inherently unequal and violated the principle of equal protection under the law, overturning the separate but equal doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court took an active role in reshaping public policy, even though it went beyond the plain text of the Constitution.
Can you make it simpler?
Certainly!
Judicial activism is when judges interpret the Constitution in a way that reflects current social, economic, and political realities, even if it requires them to go beyond the plain language of the Constitution. This means that judges can strike down laws that they think are unconstitutional even if they aren't explicitly prohibited by the Constitution.
Judicial restraint, on the other hand, is when judges defer to other branches of government and interpret the Constitution narrowly. This means that judges can refrain from striking down laws even if they may have doubts about its constitutionality.
Plessy v. Ferguson is an example of judicial restraint, where the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of segregation laws. Brown v. Board of Education is an example of judicial activism, where the Supreme Court declared segregation unconstitutional and mandated the integration of schools, even though it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.
Is it possible you could summarize in one paragraph?
Certainly!
Judicial activism refers to a court's willingness to interpret the Constitution flexibly in order to apply the principles of justice and equality to modern social and political realities, while judicial restraint refers to a court's reluctance to interpret the Constitution broadly and deference to other branches of government. Plessy v. Ferguson was an example of judicial restraint, where the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of segregation laws. Brown v. Board of Education is an example of judicial activism, where the Supreme Court declared segregation unconstitutional and mandated the integration of schools, even though it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.
How does the Principle of separation of powers limit Congress
The principle of separation of powers imposes limits on Congress by dividing the powers of the federal government into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial. It stipulates that each branch should have separate and distinct powers, and that they should operate independently of each other.
This means that Congress cannot exercise powers that are explicitly granted to the executive or judicial branches. For example, under the principle of separation of powers, the legislative branch cannot appoint judges or presidential appointments, as that role is explicitly given to the executive branch. Similarly, the legislative branch cannot interpret the laws, as that is the duty of the judiciary.
Furthermore, each branch of government can exercise a system of checks and balances over the other branches, ensuring that no single branch becomes too powerful. For example, Congress can override presidential vetoes and impeachment proceedings, providing a check on the executive branch. The Supreme Court, on the other hand, can declare laws unconstitutional, providing a check on the legislative branch.
Therefore, the principle of separation of powers limits Congress by defining the scope and extent of its powers, preventing it from encroaching on the authority of other branches of government and avoiding an imbalance of power between them.
So congress cannot enforce the laws they make?
Congress has the power to create laws, but they do not have the power to enforce them directly. Congress passes laws, but it is the executive branch that enforces them.
For example, when Congress passes a law, such as the Civil Rights Act, the executive branch (which includes the President and federal agencies) is responsible for implementing and enforcing the law. The President is responsible for appointing officials to agencies and departments that implement the law, and those officials are responsible for ensuring that people and businesses comply with the requirements of the law.
That said, Congress has some indirect means of enforcing the laws that they pass. They can create oversight committees to monitor the executive branch's implementation of laws, and they can hold hearings and investigations to hold executive officials accountable for their actions. Congress can also use its power of the purse to fund or defund programs related to the implementation of laws.
So, while Congress does not enforce the laws that they pass directly, they have ways to influence and oversee the execution of those laws.
Okay
Is there anything else you'd like me to explain or clarify?
The phrase "the Elastic Clause" comes from which powers of congress
"The Elastic Clause" is another name for the Necessary and Proper Clause, which is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the United States Constitution. This clause grants Congress the power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the powers granted to any of the branches of the federal government.
The Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress a broad grant of authority to enact legislation that may be necessary or appropriate to implement its enumerated powers. It has been interpreted broadly by the Supreme Court, thereby granting Congress a greater degree of authority to extend its own powers beyond what is explicitly stated in the Constitution. Because of its broad application, the clause has also been referred to as the "sweeping clause" or the "basket clause."
In practice, the Necessary and Proper Clause has been used by Congress to pass a wide range of legislation, including those laws that created the first national bank, established the Federal Reserve System and developed the air traffic control system, among others.
Which of the following are examples of non-legislative functions of Congress up proving presidential treaties debating a law about healthcare reform impeaching a president passing a federal budget voting on gun control Select all that apply
Examples of non-legislative functions of Congress are:
- Approving presidential treaties
- Impeaching a president
Therefore, the correct choices are:
- Approving presidential treaties

Debating a law about healthcare reform, passing a federal budget, and voting on gun control are all examples of legislative functions of Congress.
7.Way is support for the Electoral College greater in small population states than it is in larger
(I poi
population states?
D
O The smaller population states tend to agree with the Electoral College's candidate for presider
O The smaller population states don't have the financial support for running popular rote elections
- O The smaller population states are happier to let a small group of people choose the president
•The smaller population states have more porter by using the Electoral College than they woold
othennise.
The possible answer for the question is:
The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.
This is because the Electoral College assigns electors based on each state's representation in Congress. This means that smaller states have a proportionately larger representation than larger states. As a result, candidates for the presidency are required to secure the support of voters from smaller states in order to win the electoral vote, even if they do not necessarily have the popular vote. This gives smaller states more power in the election process, and as such, support for the Electoral College tends to be greater in smaller population states.
10. Which is an important purpose of having the president serve as he military's commander-in-
chief? civilian control of the military
fewer attacks by foreign powers
increased efficiency in the chain of command
more experienced leaders
The important purpose of having the President serve as the military's Commander-in-Chief is civilian control of the military.
The President, as a civilian, serves as the head of the military and exercises control over it, including the ability to deploy troops and make strategic decisions in times of war. This civilian control of the military is a fundamental principle of American democracy and helps to ensure that the military is always subordinate to the elected civilian government.
It is important to have the President, as a civilian, serve as the head of the military to prevent the military from becoming independent and acting in its own interests, which could undermine civilian authority and democratic governance. Therefore, civilian control of the military is a crucial component of the American political system and the President, as the military's Commander-in-Chief, plays a crucial role in ensuring that civilian control is maintained over the military.
Thanks! :D
You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Who makes up the president's cabinet?
chiefs of staff
directors of agencies
secretaries of departments
senior military officials
The President's Cabinet is made up of the Secretaries of executive branch departments, along with some other senior officials:
- Secretary of State
- Secretary of the Treasury
- Secretary of Defense
- Attorney General
- Secretary of the Interior

So would it be secretaries of departments or senior military officials?
The members of the President's cabinet are the Secretaries of executive branch departments, not senior military officials or chiefs of staff. Therefore, the correct answer would be the Secretaries of departments.
Thanks bott
You're welcome! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Which agency regulates the banking industry by controlling the nation's money supply?
Department of the Treasury
Federal Reserve System
Internal Revenue System
Securities and Exchange Commission
The agency that regulates the banking industry by controlling the nation's money supply is the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve System, also known as the Federal Reserve or simply the Fed, is the central banking system of the United States. It was established by Congress in 1913 to provide a stable monetary and financial system for the country. The Fed has several responsibilities, including conducting monetary policy, supervising and regulating banks and other financial institutions, and providing financial services to the federal government.
One of the primary ways the Fed regulates the banking industry is through its control of the nation's money supply. It has the authority to set interest rates and change the money supply through the purchase or sale of government securities, among other methods. Through these actions, the Fed can impact the economy and manage inflation and unemployment.
Which is a true statement about judicial review?
Although district courts can declare laws unconstitutional, they often let their state's Supreme Courts
decide.
In order to declare a law unconstitutional and of no effect, all justices must agree.
Judges can decide whether or not to uphold the Constitution in making case rulings.
The power of judicial review is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.
A true statement about judicial review is: The power of judicial review is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.
Judicial review is the power of the courts, particularly the Supreme Court, to review and declare the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress or actions taken by the President or other government officials. This power is not explicitly granted to the courts in the Constitution.
Instead, the concept of judicial review was established in the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison in 1803, in which Chief Justice John Marshall held that it is the role of the judiciary to determine whether a law is constitutional. Since then, the power of judicial review has been used in numerous cases to strike down laws that are found to be unconstitutional.
Which are the main philosophies of judicial interpretation? Select all that apply.
judicial activism
judicial jurisdiction
judicial restraint
judicial review
judicial standing
The main philosophies of judicial interpretation are:
- Judicial activism
- Judicial restraint
- Judicial review
Therefore, the correct choices are:
- Judicial activism
- Judicial restraint
- Judicial review
Judicial jurisdiction and judicial standing are not considered main philosophies of judicial interpretation, but rather legal concepts related to the authority of the court and the ability of a plaintiff to bring a case to court, respectively.
If it had to only be 2 which 2 would it be?
If I had to choose only two main philosophies of judicial interpretation, I would choose:
1. Judicial activism
2. Judicial restraint
These two philosophies represent two different approaches to interpreting and applying the law, and are often invoked in debates over the role of the judiciary in American democracy. Judicial activism emphasizes the role of the courts in interpreting and applying the law to modern social, economic, and political realities, while judicial restraint emphasizes the limited role of the judiciary in deferring to the decisions of the elected branches of government and avoiding making policy decisions.
Which of the following describes an appellate court?
has juries
hears witnesses
issues indictments
reviews cases
An appellate court is a court that reviews cases.
Appellate courts are different from trial courts, which are responsible for hearing evidence, determining the facts of a case, and issuing verdicts. Appellate courts, on the other hand, review cases that have already been decided by a lower court or administrative agency to determine if there were any legal errors made in the original decision.
Appellate courts do not have juries and generally do not hear witnesses or issue indictments. Their main responsibility is to review the legal arguments of both sides of the case and determine if the lower court made any errors in interpreting or applying the law. If they find an error, they may reverse or modify the decision of the lower court.
Why would it not be appropriate for Congress to get the Supreme Court's opinion about a bill
it is considering?
It would check the President's power of veto.
It would upset the legislative process.
The Supreme Court cannot rule on a law that does not exist.
The Supreme Court is not in session when Congress is in session.
It would not be appropriate for Congress to get the Supreme Court's opinion about a bill it is considering because the Supreme Court cannot rule on a law that does not exist.
The Supreme Court's power is limited to interpreting and applying the law as it currently exists, and it cannot issue advisory opinions on hypothetical situations or potential future laws. As such, it would be inappropriate for Congress to seek the Court's opinion on a bill it is considering, as this would essentially be asking the Court to engage in speculative and potentially partisan decision-making.
Furthermore, seeking the Court's opinion would upset the separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches, as it would allow the Court to provide input on legislation before it has been passed by Congress. This would create a situation where the judiciary would be playing an active role in the legislative process, which is not the intended purpose of the separation of powers in the American political system.
Which of the following is true about members of the Supreme Court?
Justices are elected for life and cannot be impeached.
Justices are nominated by the president but must be approved by the Senate.
People nominated to the Supreme Court must have a degree in law.
The number of justices on the Supreme Court is set in the Constitution.
The following statement is true about members of the Supreme Court:
Justices are nominated by the president but must be approved by the Senate.
Justices of the Supreme Court are nominated by the President of the United States, but they must be confirmed by the Senate in a process called "advise and consent." During this process, the Senate Judiciary Committee conducts hearings to review the nominee's qualifications and background before making a recommendation to the full Senate for confirmation. The full Senate then votes on whether to approve the nomination.
The Supreme Court does not have a set number of justices in the Constitution. The number of justices is determined by Congress, and has varied over time. Currently, there are nine justices on the Supreme Court.
Although justices of the Supreme Court serve lifetime appointments, they can be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office by the Senate for "high crimes and misdemeanors." However, this process
Which gives the correct order of the process by which a case goes to the Supreme Court?
First the writ of certiorari, next the briefs are filed, then the court places the case on the docket, and
finally the court schedules a time for oral arguments.
