This is a complex question, and it is unlikely to have a definitive answer. However, if we look at the standard definition of democracy, we would have to say that an unelected Supreme Court is not truly democratic.

The concept of democracy is that of popular rule. In a democracy, it is the common people who are able to make decisions when it comes to politics and government. They do so by electing their leaders. If the people of a country cannot directly influence the decisions of the Supreme Court, nor can they elect the people who do, we would have to say that the Supreme Court is undemocratic.

No, Truly Democratic would be completely the people's election, or choice.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Civil Liberties

Explanation:

In U.S. vs Lopez, the main issue would have to concern civil liberties. Lopez was not arrested for carrying a firearm because of his race or ethnicity, so this could not be identified under civil rights. Rather, Lopez was arrested because of his action to bring a gun to school and how it relates with the 2nd amendment and commerce clause. This means it would be identified as a an issue of civil liberties.

What are some connotations of the word liberty?

Tju [1.3M]

Positive because it means you are free to do something, you are at liberty. I don't think there is really a negative connotation of liberty.
