Answer:

d) all of these: nominated by the president, confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and appointed for an indefinite period providing they maintain "good behavior."

Explanation:

Federal judges, who are the ones that are that preside over the Supreme Court proceedings and evaluate laws, are indeed nominated by the President, by the U.S. Senate, and appointed for an indefinite period providing they maintain "good behavior" or until they decide to retain, as Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides:

he (The President) shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States.

And as Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution states:

The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior

With this latter provision, the Constitution guarantees that judges make decisions and evaluate statutes according to what is right under the law, and not according to popular's opinion or political pressure. This way, judges don’t have to fear that they will be fired if they make an unpopular decision.

British explorer Henry Hudson made his third voyage to the "New World" in 1609. What was the BIGGEST obstacle he faced on this j

GrogVix [38]

Believed to have been born in the late 16th century, English explorer Henry Hudson made two unsuccessful sailing voyages in search of an ice-free passage to Asia. In 1609, he embarked on a third voyage funded by the Dutch East India Company that took him to the New World and the river that would be given his name. On his fourth voyage, Hudson came upon the body of water that would later be called the Hudson Bay.

The third voyage was the worst. When some members of Henry Hudson's crew set off to find food on the shore, the First Nations attacked them and killed one of Henry Hudson's men. The man that died was one of the most important men on the ship. He would keep watch to see if there were chunks of ice up ahead and if there were dead ends. On his last voyage, Henry Hudson encountered the menacing ice. This ice was so thick that his boat was stuck. By the time the ice melted and the boat was free, his unhappy crew plotted against him and set him adrift in a boat with his son and a few other crew members
