A federal system of government exists when power is shared between a central, federal body, and smaller entities such as states. The Founders chose this because they wanted to protect state and individual rights while making sure that the country had a strong central power.

The Supreme Court is most likely to be accused of judicial activism in cases involving?
satela [25.4K]
<span>The Supreme Court is most likely to be accused of judicial activism in cases involving:  protection of individual rights.

Writing for the conservative group, <em>The Heritage Foundation</em>, Elizabeth Slattery defines judicial activism as "w</span><span>hen 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, <em>Roe v. Wade </em>(1973) addressed the question of abortion and an individual's right to privacy.  <em>Obergefell v. Hodges </em>(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.</span>

why did George Washington call the congress under the articles of confederation "a shadow without a substance"
NISA [10]
George Washington called the Congress under the Articles of Confederation a "shadow without substance" because under the Articles of Confederation the Congress was given very limited powers. The Articles of Confederation gave most of the power to states and did not give much power to the national government. Therefore although it created national bodies like Congress they were just a shadow because they had very limited powers and not much of an ability to institute any real policies.
