1. Overall, the court system is better suited to protect individuals than any of the elected branches of the government. This is true because to begin with human rights are highly protected within court rooms and are in effect. Also, disputes are not influenced by public opinion. For example, if a person were to be inside a court room in the event of a case being discussed, they can practice the right to remain silent under the fifth amendment and they would not be punished for it.
  2. Although it may be widely viewed that the supreme court may be anti-democratic for allowing the different individuals such as judges, presidents, mayors and other members of the government pertaining to a branch, I completely disagree on this matter. I believe that people within the realm of having this responsibility are not to be chosen by the public but rather by those who are in the same field and have related knowledge. The main reason why judges are chosen in federal courts is due to the fact that they are in office for life. As a result, it is only right that they go through a strict process of being confirmed by the united states senate as deemed by the U.S. constitution.
