Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B: Bases decision on the law while other officals base decision on the will of the people.

Explanation:

This answer comes from what a judge is and what role he/she plays in the general scheme of a state. First, unlike other officials of government, judges are the ones responsible for interpreting the law, which means that their decisions and actions are dictated by the law and not by what people say. Second, they are responsible for evaluating evidence presented in cases, and these evaluations must solely be guided by the laws. Third, they must always be impartial in their decision-making process, as these decisions must always be frameworked by the law they work under; otherwise they become biased and can lose their positions. This is why the correct answer is B, and not the other choices.
