I would take part in judicial restraint if I were a Supreme Court justice because I have faith in the Constitution. It was made by our founding fathers and has been known to be our country’s foundation. Another reason is because I think that the Constitution has been amended and interpreted consistently enough to make it somewhat recent and applicable to modern issues and court cases. In addition, with justices that take place in judicial activism, our country and its court system would be chaos. An example would be court cases with drivers who were “drunk” and driving. With justices supporting activism, one may end up being in jail for life, another may end up getting his license temporarily taken away but get to keep his car, and the last may end up losing both his license and car for life.

As you can see, such a situation would be very unfair and unorganized because what was done in the past and what was considered in the past to be a “light” crime may not end up to be such a “light” crime the next time it was committed.
