Advanced Placement (AP)

A law professor writes an article for a legal journal. The article opposes judicial review, arguing that the final decision on the constitutionality of a law should rest with the legislature, which represents the people, rather than with the unelected justices of the Supreme Court. Which of the following statements best counters this argument? The Supreme Court is composed of a balance of political viewpoints, which forces consensus, as opposed to the legislature, whose shifting party composition lacks political consistency. The Constitution gives the Supreme Court the power of judicial review to maintain the balance among governmental branches. Legal decisions made by unelected judges and based on the Constitution provide greater national stability than those based on the changing opinions of the electorate. The lifetime tenure of Supreme Court justices makes them better qualified to decide matters of long-term consequence than elected officials.
