Dred Scott Vs Sandford

Judicial review has been perceived as inconsistent with the significance that democracies properly attach political participation and to equality. Judges under the rule of law are seen as a threat to the courts under a democratic ruling. Judges who conform to the criminal and civil justice in a democratic ruling obtain to the traditional values in moderate courts. The citizens who live under a democratic ruling develop an expectation of judicial power which is expected to be exercised independently. Judges are likely to be a danger to public society since they disregard to speak to cases of a majority rule under racial discrimination. “Where the will of the legislature declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to that of the people declared

Judiciaries are a risk to democratic majority rule. In this essay, I will argue that Dred Scott vs Sandford, Plessy vs Ferguson, and Levell v. Bedard are cases that seem to find the justice in political reviews as contrasting to lawful and moral reviews and illustrating racial segregation.

Direct responses of 3 constitutional amendments were provided during the reconstruction era. The thirteenth amendment that outlawed slavery, the fourteenth amendment that gave equal protection in the U.S to everyone naturalized there, and the fifteenth amendment that prohibits race based restrictions on voting. These amendments were created to give liberty and improve civil rights. Unfortunately, this era failed and did the complete opposite of its creation. Racial segregation was now introduced. The amendments that were passed on now former slaves and black citizens wanted to test the government. This started with Plessy vs Ferguson (1896), 30 year old Homer Plessy, light skin was arrested for sitting in the “Whites only” seat in the Louisiana railroad. This was a test case that challenged the government to see what they would do to Plessy. The USSC weakened the 14th amendment that the law segregates did not violate the 14th amendment as long as you can take the train (Hoffer, 2014.)
