- The court system is better suitable to protect the individual because there is more than one court system ready to protect an individuals rights. The court system also provides alternative venues in which to appeal for assistance. A good example of the court system being better suited to protect an individual is the trial of Ernesto Miranda. The Supreme Court found that his Fifth Amendment had been violated. This was a decision that the state courts alone could not have decided.
- I do not think the selection of Supreme Court Justices is anti-democratic. Even though the Justices are not elected by the citizens of the country they are however appointed by individuals who are elected by the citizens. The reasoning for Supreme Court Justices to be selected this way is so only individuals who are deemed worthy enough by the people in charge will get selected. The founding fathers did not want less educated or less wealthy individuals to be able to influence the decisions made on a National level.
