Answer:

During Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days where he was tempted by Satan, but successfully resisted. Traditionally, Christians will give up something such as social media, sugar, and other temptations. This is to replicate Jesus' resistance to Satan's temptations. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. Sundays in Lent are not counted in the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter." This is why you will see the designation "Sunday in Lent" rather than "Sunday of Lent" in the naming of these Sundays.

What is meant by the assertion that the supreme<br>court is a countermajoritarian institution ?​
Butoxors [25]

<u>Answer:</u>

The assertion that the supreme court is a counter majoritarian institution comes from the question asked by Alexander Bickel ​in 1962 which tried to address the problem of overpowering of the supreme court over the Senate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alexander Bickel believed that the power of just 9 supreme court judges to decide for over 308 million Americans and to change the decisions made in the Senate by a majority of members was not fair as far as a balanced functioning of the democracy was concerned.
