Judges keep the country safe from political majorities because

A) judges were often nominated by previous administrations.
B) judges have a duty to rule in favor of any minority parties.
C) judges have the power to nominate other political officials.
D) judges are able to strike down any laws they feel are immoral.

D) judges are able to strike down any laws they feel are immoral.

Explanation:

None of these are truly correct.

Federal Judges, especially in the Supreme Court, are nominated by the President, but needs to be approved by the two houses of congress. They are also in court for life, unless they break the constitution. These Judges, while they have their own beliefs, are supposed to be "3rd party", however, evidently the judges will rule based on what they believe is right.

A) is not exactly right, because administrations can nominate judges when there is a vacant space, either from the death of a judge or the judge stepping down.

B) is incorrect, because the judges are supposed to rule based on how the law affects the constitutional rights of the citizens of the country. They neither have the obligation to vote Democratic nor Republican.

C) is incorrect, because they are only able to nominate workers who can help them by hiring them. They do not nominate anybody.

D) is technically incorrect, but is your best answer. They do not strike down laws that "they feel are immoral", but that they strike down laws that break the constitution in any shape or form.
