1984 by George Orwell! :D

The opening is unclear + ambiguous but some say it opens up like this for one of three reasons:

1.) Military time

2.) Because clocks don't strike 13, it shows that there is something wrong with the clock and it is untrustworthy. Just as in the story, 2 + 2 = 5. The government tells lies and has lost respect for the truth.

3.) Orwell is referencing Thomas Hardy from his novel <span>Far From the Madding Crowd,

"</span><span>This supreme instance of Troy's goodness fell upon Gabriel ears like the thirteenth stroke of crazy clock. It was not only received with utter incredulity as regarded itself, but threw a doubt on all the assurances that had preceded it."</span>

What is the place of an unelected judiciary in a democracy? ​
Virty [35]

Supreme Court  is the place of an unelected judiciary in a democracy.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The judiciary is, to some extent, insulated from the electorate in many countries.  

Once named by elected representatives, our Supreme Court justices for example will then be in office for life.  Most judges are, moreover, elected directly in the smaller venues.  

The Supreme Court documentation overlooks sometimes the twelve States which use or fail to discuss variation in their legal concepts with conventional appointment structures.  

Eight states allow the re-appointment of judges at the conclusion of the fixed period of time, and eight other nations now use judiciary committees to restrict the party elite's power to appoint judges.
