Answer:

The Seventeenth Amendment restates the first paragraph of Article I, section 3 of the Constitution and provides for the election of senators by replacing the phrase “chosen by the Legislature thereof” with “elected by the people thereof.” In addition, it allows the governor or executive authority of each state, if authorized by that state’s legislature, to appoint a senator in the event of a vacancy, until a general election occurs.

Exact Amendment: The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.

This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.

Ratling [72]

Answer: prevent decisions based on the pressures of maintaining elected office

Explanation: The Supreme court is the judicial branch of the federal government and the highest court in the country. It has jurisdiction over all federal & state courts. The

main purpose of the Supreme court is to interpret the law and defend the Constitution. Often they must hear the cases of lower federal courts and ensure that laws follow the Constitution.

Supreme Court justices have life tenure, which means that they serve until they die, resign or retire, unless they are impeached and removed from office by the Senate for wrongful behaviour. The purpose of this life tenure is to make certain the highest court of the country decide cases based on merit, and not have to worry about the pressure associated with elected office.
