How is the author's view from this passage reflected in the U.S. Constitution? The U.S. Constitution gives unlimited power to the judiciary. The U.S. Constitution creates an independent judiciary. The U.S. Constitution requires the executive branch to approve decisions of the judicial branch. The U.S. Constitution requires the legislative branch to approve decisions of the judicial branch.

Answer 1

Answer:

This system was put into place in order to prevent complete government control.

Answer 2

Answer:

The U.S. Constitution creates an independent judiciary.

Explanation:

In the passage, the author says placing the legislative, executive, and judicial power all in the same hands leads to tyranny. Tyranny is another way to say unfair government. The separation of powers into the three branches of government creates an independent judiciary. This means the judicial branch can act independently without the influence of the legislative or executive branches. Judges make decisions based on law and fact, not outside influences. An independent judiciary is one way the Constitution protects individual rights.
