Answer:

Unlike in many countries, the judges of the US Supreme Court serve for a lifetime. There is no retirement age for judges and they can hold their office as long as they do not get impeached by the congress.

Explanation:

The judges are given this privilege to ensure that they are free from political pressure and act strictly according to the law without favouring unjust causes.

The Supreme Court checks the power of other branches of government using the system of judicial review. If the presidential actions or decisions do not abide by the constitution the courts can declare them unconstitutional.

What is the main idea of worth more than gold by Amy Charles

TEA [102]

Answer:

Explanation:

 The main idea of the essay "Worth more than gold" by Amy Charles is the value of the genes that help prevent spreading the diseases and pests of the crops. There are gene banks that store seeds and genes of various plants, so when a pest appears scientists can find the exact gene that fights that particular pest.

This way, the scenarios in the likes of the great Irish potato famine of 1845 can be avoided, and the food supplies stay safe.

The title of the essay 'Worth more than gold" refers to these genes and their great role in the preservation of food and nutrition of people worldwide.
