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.

HELP! It can be short like a paragraph or like 3 sentences. Why did alexander the great empire fell apart after his death
kiruha [24]
There are a couple of reasons for why the empire didn't last. One of those reasons is that the empire was too great (big). Because the empire was too huge, it was divided into different parts after Alexander's death. He also didn't have an heir to the throne, so when he died, officials fought for power and to become king, which also contributed to the fall of the empire as well.
