Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Judicial Branch

he U.S. Constitution establishes a basic structure around our three branches of government (i.e. the executive, legislative branch and the judicial branch) to interact and function in one way to prevent abuse of power or tyranny. Important to realize, these three branches of government has specific power, duties and responsibilities in the U.S. national government. In this case, I will focus on the Judicial branch, next to explain one strength and one weakness of the branch of government as well as to provide an option to maintain the strength and option to correct the weakness of that branch of government. The Judicial branch is the third government branch that is made up of different types of courts. Those types of court are the Supreme Court,

Judicial review is the courts power to interpret the U.S. Constitution meaning and the amendments towards laws and policies that were given by the Executive or Legislative branches. According to The Federal Judiciary: Strengths and Weaknesses, “The Supreme Court justices base their decisions on legal analysis, precedents and authoritative source [in each case assignments]” (). For example, the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison (1803) was the foundation for the courts to exercise their power of judicial review under Article III of the U.S. Constitution to define the limitation of the American government to constitutionally separation of power between the Executive and itself. For this reason, the Judicial review is the Judicial branch one strength to declare if the laws and policies are in conflict or not to the U.S. Constitution rules and amendments. The one weakness to the Judicial branch is Congress can overrule their court decisions. “Judiciary is the branch government tasked with interpreting laws, adjusting cased and controversies over the application of laws and levying judgement when laws are violated” (Lasky,.J

political parties, interest groups and federal elections) are involved in the processes, activities and policies of the U.S. government. Each have evolving goals and objectives to get citizens involved with politics to exercise their first Amendment to vote. In this case, I will explain one positive impact and one negative impact of the Political parties as well as to accentuate the positive impact and lessen the negative impact of the Political parties. Organizations that seek to influence government policy by taking positions on current and public issues, nominating candidates and trying to get them selected called Political parties. According to our American Government textbook, “the Farmers of the Constitution thought political parties were viewed a small group that had self-interest within themselves that placed their welfare above the general public” (). However, the American people view political parties as important in the effort to promote the American democracy in their many activities to get citizens to vote at the polls.The one strength of the political parties are to act as a bridge between the government and the American people as being biased to political views. They are biased in the complex world of politics for the American people to develop their own mindset of whom he or she want to vote for at the polls. For instance, both political candidates (i.e. Democratic and Republican) compete for Presidency by presenting plans
