The Supreme Court might be considered an activist Court if it

History

Illusion [34]3 years ago
5 0

The Supreme Court is most likely to be accused of judicial activism in cases involving:  protection of individual rights.

Writing for the conservative group, The Heritage Foundation, Elizabeth Slattery defines judicial activism as "when judges fail to apply the Constitution or laws impartially according to their original public meaning, regardless of the outcome, or do not follow binding precedent of a higher court and instead decide the case based on personal preference."

Cases involving individual rights are likely to elicit charges of judicial activism because the Constitution does not spell out each and every sort of right citizens may have.  New questions come up that were not considered or specified at the time the Constitution was written.  For instance, Roe v. Wade (1973) addressed the question of abortion and an individual's right to privacy.  Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) addressed the legality of same-sex marriage.  Both are cases of individual rights, where the Constitution did not give direct instruction on the issues at stake.  The decisions on those issues, to allow abortion and to allow same-sex marriage, both are criticized by conservatives as instances of judicial activism.

What important federalist idea is expressed in this excerpt
Sergeu [11.5K]
It's C, because feds are for the, powerful big federal union centralized "american" national government.

This contradicts D, so it can not be D, since feds were NOT the kind of people to say. "Hey stop !!! The American government is bullying my Virginia." No virigina does not have soveringy in the eyes of feds. The USA is the powerful nation holding the states - The alliance of states is stronger than the individual power of states.

It's important to recognize that some colonists and early Americans did not see them selves as together as one. " We are not Americans as a nation, but only a region." Like Europe with all their different states and nations. 
It also says all past " But if the union...." Obvious for what I think.
