Why do you think the framers wanted to protect the judicial branch from political influence?

The judicial branch was intended as a check on the power of congress to write laws. Theoretically, a political faction could gain control of both houses of congress in sufficient numbers to supersede the veto power of the executive branch - such a faction-dominated congress could basically enact any law they decided to, including laws which (let's say) ended the executive branch, abolished elections, and amended the constitution to leave them and their appointed successors perpetually in power (versions of this kind of legalistic coup d'état have in fact happened in several nations in recent history). The judicial branch checks this through its power to overturn any law that contradicts the spirit and letter of the constitution. However, if the justices were subject to political influences, then the same political forces which allowed such a noxious faction to gain control of congress could be used to sway the opinions of the justices as well, defeating their primary purpose.


What is John Dickinson's Political Affiliation?

John Dickinson was a prominent figure in early American history and is often associated with the moderate faction of the Continental Congress. He was a member of the Colonial Assembly and later aligned with the Pennsylvania and Delaware legislatures. While he was a delegate to the Continental Congress and supported independence, he favored reconciliation with Britain over immediate separation, reflecting a more conservative and cautious political stance. Although he didn't fit neatly into modern political affiliations, he is often considered a Federalist due to his support for a stronger central government after the Revolutionary War.

Who was responsible for the Bolshevik movement in the early 1900?

Vladimir I. Lenin was responsible for the Bolshevik movement in the early 1900s. He was the leader of a minority dissident faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, (RSDLP), a Marxist political party. At its party congress in 1903 in Brussels, he seized an opportunity to gain a temporary majority and named his minority faction Bolsheviks, which means majorityites in Russian. From then on the Bolsheviks were a separate faction with separate ideologies from the rest of the RSDLP. Soon it became an entirely separate political party in and of itself.
