Answer:

More than 200 years ago, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay published a series of essays promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution now known as Federalist Papers.  In explaining the need for an independent judiciary, Alexander Hamilton noted in The Federalist # 78 that the federal courts "were designed to be an intermediate body between the people and their legislature" in order to ensure that the people's representatives acted only within the authority given to Congress under the Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution is the nation's fundamental law.  It codifies the core values of the people.  Courts have the responsibility to interpret the Constitution's meaning, as well as the meaning of any laws passed by Congress. The Federalist # 78 states further that, if any law passed by Congress conflicts with the Constitution, "the Constitution ought to be preferred to the statute, the intention of the people to the intention of their agents."

"Nor does this conclusion by any means suppose a superiority of the judicial to the legislative power.  It only supposed that the power of the people is superior to both; and that where the will of the legislature, declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to that of the people, declared in the Constitution, the judges ought to be governed by the latter rather than the former.  They ought to regulate their decisions by the fundamental laws, rather than by those which are not fundamental."

The American democratic system is not always based upon simple majority rule.  There are certain principles that are so important to the nation that the majority has agreed not to interfere in these areas.  For instance, the Bill of Rights was passed because concepts such as freedom of religion, speech, equal treatment, and due process of law were deemed so important that, barring a Constitutional Amendment, not even a majority should be allowed to change them.

Rule of law is a principle under which all persons, institutions, and entities are accountable to laws that are:

Publicly promulgated

Equally enforced

Independently adjudicated

And consistent with international human rights principles.

The courts play an integral role in maintaining the rule of law, particularly when they hear the grievances voiced by minority groups or by those who may hold minority opinions.  Equality before the law is such an essential part of the American system of government that, when a majority, whether acting intentionally or unintentionally, infringes upon the rights of a minority, the Court may see fit to hear both sides of the controversy in court.

Which is a problem that prevents Africa from being able to fully utilize its
Oksanka [162]

The options available are:

A. Import oriented economy

B. Lack of infrastructure

C. Problems with immigration

D. Civil wars

Answer:

B.  Lack of infrastructure

D.  Civil wars

Explanation:

Lack of infrastructure in Africa is one of the major problem that prevents Africa from being able to fully utilize its resources, this because there is not massive and robust factory infrastructures that can process many of its natural resources into refined and final resources. For example, in terms of crude oil and natural gas, there is no substantial refinery in Africa to process it to final products.

Civil wars is also one of the bane that is preventing the Africa from harnessing its resources, as civil wars leads to vandalization of the little infrastructures that is present there, it also affects the government policies, destroys human lives or resources, and scare away both local and foreign investors.

Immigration problems has nothing to do with the utilization of resources, as many Nldeveloped Nations faced the same problems, such as USA with the influx of Mexicans trooping into the country for greener pastures.

It is not import oriented economy either, because, import oriented economy is also one of the byproducts of lack of infrastructure.
