Why is a precedent important?

History

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

<span>In a common law system, judges are obliged to make their rulings as consistent as reasonably possible with previous judicial decisions on the same subject. The Constitution accepted most of the English common law as the starting point for American law. Situations still arise that involve rules laid down in cases decided more than 200 years ago. Each case decided by a common law court becomes a precedent, or guideline, for subsequent decisions involving similar disputes. These decisions are not binding on the legislature, which can pass laws to overrule unpopular court decisions. Unless these laws are determined to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, they preempt the common law precedent cases. Judges deciding cases are bound by the new law, rather than the precedent cases.</span>

Precedents are important because judges can see past experiences with similar cases to help them build an opinion.

Neko [114]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options for this question we can say the following.

The nineteenth-century center or artistic capital of romanticism and art was Paris, France.

Romanticism in France was in clear opposition to Classicism. Romanticism lacked the rigidity that characterized Classicism. Romantic artistic expression was diverse and had no political agendas. It could be seen in landscape paintings, historical works, and portraits.

Some important authors of the time were Paul de la Roche, Eugene Delacroix, Horace Vernet, Theodore Gericault, and Horace Vernet.
