Introduction
It is unquestionably true that the judicial system has been crucial in safeguarding American civil freedoms. In certain ways, the judicial system is perfect for defending individual liberty. Centralized judges are chosen as opposed to elected, which implies they are not constrained by concerns over pandering to gatherings, particular interest crowds, or public views, as is the case with elected legislators.
Discussion
The legal system is more adapted to safeguarding individuals than the political institutions of government for several reasons. First, public opinion does not affect the court system (Ura & Merrill, 2017). These are because judges lack political affiliations and are not chosen by the general public, like the legislature and administration members. Judges are elected for life; they are not subject to the same pressures as other arms of government to favor particular viewpoints to win reelection. Therefore, compared to elected politicians, the judicial system is more eager to take on contentious issues. Judges can concentrate intensively on the precise settings of the persons, groups, or issues that are affected by their judgments because of their minor political power. The Roe v Wade case is an excellent example of how the judicial system took on a contentious issue to defend women’s right to an abortion, even if it was not a politically popular choice at the time (SINGH, 2022). According to the court, a woman can get an abortion without unduly being restricted by the government since her liberty is guaranteed by the Constitution (SINGH, 2022).
Conclusion
Finally, compared to the elected arms of government, the judicial system is more suited to uphold individual rights to ensure the legal system inflicts punishments and makes legally enforceable orders. This implies that the government or corporate concerned must act when the legal system rules in the individual’s favor. In comparison, there is no assurance that the laws or measures adopted by the elected branches of government will be carried out.
