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.
