By definition, the Supemem court makes the system less democratic; it can overrule laws passed by the legislative branch, which by virtue of the representatives being directly elected by the people, as opposed to the Supreme Court, whose body is selected by appointment and thus the selection of the justices is less directly tied to the public’s desires....therefore, it is less democratic. Also, justices are appointed, not elected and have indefinite term lengths, so they are more inependent with their policy making.
