<u>Answer:</u>

The assertion that the supreme court is a counter majoritarian institution comes from the question asked by Alexander Bickel ​in 1962 which tried to address the problem of overpowering of the supreme court over the Senate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alexander Bickel believed that the power of just 9 supreme court judges to decide for over 308 million Americans and to change the decisions made in the Senate by a majority of members was not fair as far as a balanced functioning of the democracy was concerned.

Veronika [31]

Min applies for a job as a receptionist at an accounting firm. If she is denied a job because she is of Asian origin, she may be a victim of disparate-treatment discrimination.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Disparate treatment discrimination is a type of discrimination as per the US labor laws and is based in the class or race of a person. If Min is Asian, she would probably be denied the job because of her origin and race. This type of discrimination is considered to be unlawful.

A person who received this treatment has the right to contest the discrimination. In this case, if Min is not given the job, she can file a plea in the civil court against the discrimination.
