<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>

The correct answer is C) protection of individual rights.

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

Throughout the history of the Supreme Court and a large number of cases it reviews on a yearly basis, the ones that refer to the protection of individual rights have caused controversy because many people have accused the Court of judicial activism.

There is a long list of these cases such as Plessy v. Ferguson of 1896, Dred Scott v. Sandford of 1857, Morgan v. Virginia of 1946, Hernández v. Texas of 1854, or Regents of the University of California v. Bakke of 1978, among many others.

What were the factors that transformed the american economy from agrarian to industrial?
Nata [24]

Explanation:

Agriculture to Industry

Industrialization is defined by the movement from primarily agrarian labor toward urbanized, mass-producing industrial labor. This transformation corresponds with rising marginal productivity and rising real wages, albeit not consistently or equally.

According to the 1790 U.S. Census, more than 90% of all American laborers worked in farming. The productivity—and corresponding real wages—of farm labor was very low. Factory jobs tended to offer wage rates that were several times higher than farm rates. Workers eagerly moved from low-paying, hard labor in the sun to relatively high-paying, hard labor in industrial factories.

By 1890, the number of non-farm workers had overtaken the number of farmers in the U.S. This trend continued into the 20th century; farmers made up just 2.6% of the U.S. labor force in 1990.
