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.

Differences between House and Senate versions of a bill are resolved ____
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The answers are A and B

Explanation:

In the case when the House and Senate disagree on the position of other on a bill, they are able to resolve that conflict by creating a conference committee, whose job is to settle their disagreement.

A senator can fill the tree to block other senators by flipbuster. It is usually used as a tactic when one or more senators are trying to block a vote on a certain bill, usually by extending the debate.

What did the Adams-Onís Treaty do? a. It officially ended the Second Seminole War. b. It gave East Florida to the United States.
DIA [1.3K]
From what I can recall, the Adams-Onis Treaty more or less gave Florida to the U.S. but it did not exactly end the Second Seminole War, which can be made obvious with the fact that there are Seminoles still living in Florida. I don't remember the Treaty having anything to do with the British since this treaty was between Spain and the U.S.


Basically, I believe the answer is B.
