how does the supreme court protect majority rule?

Question

please give me a good answer i am doing this freakin test that just won't finish


thank you soooooooo much

Answer 1

The supreme court is charged with only protecting the constitution/amendments. This is to give our government founding principles and a true basis for how to be. If it were not for this branch of government we would be continuously changing many things for example abortion in the 60's it would have been legal now likely illegal. But thanks to the supreme court its pretty much stable as it is and attempts to change things usually result it nothing. Noting specifically South Dakota in the forefront- banning abortion completely and having to delete that. Basic to this assumption is this that people in general change their minds constantly but inwardly want a sense of constancy.

Answer 2

The Supreme Court does not necessarily protect "majority rule". The Court interprets the Constitution of the U.S. and the laws of the country. Quite often the Court rules against the wishes of the majority. That is exactly what the founders of this nation intended. They were very afraid of the "majority rule" principle.

Answer 3

I don't understand the question. There is an odd number of justices so that there will not be a deadlock when they vote on an issue. If you are referring to the houses of Congress, they have nothing to do with majority rule. They are equal in terms of power to Congress, but do not have to necessarily uphold anything voted on by a majority. They are charged with applying a ruling of the laws of our land.
