2. Write a two page paper:

a. Are the federal courts answerable to the US Congress, to the president, or to
the electorate?

b. Should the legislature be able to make laws targeting the overturning of court
decisions? Are there any decisions that should stand beyond reach of the
legislature--even beyond reach of the US Congress?

c. What does the American system of checks and balances mean when it comes
to the relationship of the courts to other areas of government?

d. Will a fully independent judiciary ensure greater fairness in the conduct of the
court's business?
