Answer:

A. The Establishment Clause

A. Appointed judges are not swayed by public opinion.

B. Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction in all federal matters.

D. The judge would consider both the intent of the Framers who wrote the part of the Constitution in question and previous court decisions on the topic.

Explanation:

  • The Establishment Clause is a limitation that prevent Congress from passing legislation forcing an establishment of religion, thus making it illegal for the government to promote a religion.
  • The idea behind appointing judges for life was the fact that this would allow judges to not be swayed by public opinion. It would allow them to think beyond the politics of the day and focus instead on the values of the country that last through time.
  • One of the ways in which the types of jurisdiction are structured within the judicial branch of government is by allowing federal courts to have exclusive jurisdiction over all federal matters.
  • Judges who suscribe to the idea of judicial restraint believe that the power of the judicial branch should be limited. Therefore, they try to interfere in law as little as possible, and only in cases where the law is obviously unconstitutional.

How were Simon bolivar and Jose de San Martin similar
Butoxors [25]

José de San Martín vs. Simón Bolívar

José de San Martín, 1778-1850, and Simon Bolívar, 1783-1830, were two of the primary causes of independence of countries from colonial powers in Latin America. Simon Bolívar is primarily known for liberating Venezuela, and he is called the Liberator of the North. José de San Martín, known as the Liberator of the South, is primarily known for freeing Argentina. Both men are well-known and lived during about the same time period and even met each other. However, their areas of liberation, methods of liberation and motives were very different from each other.

Bolívar and Martín differed in areas of jurisdiction – Venezuela and Argentina, respectively, as well as methods and means of revolution. Bolívar was 26 years old when Venezuela declared its independence in 1811, and under the revolutionary leader he brought back Francisco de Miranda, who had long advocated freedom from the Spanish rule Venezuela was once under, to become Venezuela’s leader. However, after an erratic and unsuccessful leadership, Bolívar captured Miranda (after his rebel army was stopped) and betrayed him by turning over to the Spanish, but the Spanish only sent Bolívar into exile (unlike Miranda, who they imprisoned). After returning from exile, Bolívar taught creoles that they could rebel successfully against 3 decades of Spanish rule, but was then drove out by the Spaniards. After being chased out of Venezuela three more times, while using terror tactics the Spanish had once used against Creoles such as suffocation, while gaining the support of the British and a bond with Haiti, and while declaring that he would abolish slavery as his first official act (if in power), he decided to build a guerilla warfare army in 1817. After defeating the Spanish in New Granada (which consisted of present-day Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama) using guerilla tactics and the help of thousands of mercenaries from Britain and Germany, he met with San Martín and desired to take advantage of Spain’s falling empire (due to political disagreements and an army revolt), but did not collaborate with him on a major scale. Bolívar formed a series of nations called “Grand Columbia” out of New Granada from which he intended to make a “model of strength and aggression from outside and of cooperation inside”, however, this unification soon disbanded itself (Adams, 33). Bolívar’s last battle ended in splendor in 1823, as it was entirely between cavalry with swords and lances.
