Why would appointing judges only on political preference be dangerous?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It may weaken judicial impartiality and public trust

Direct answer: A is correct. Judges must decide cases according to the Constitution, law and evidence, not according to the wishes of a political party or government. If appointments are based only on political preference, people may reasonably fear that judges will favour the appointing group or avoid decisions that displease it. Such a perception can weaken impartiality, judicial independence and public confidence, even when an individual judge tries to act fairly. B is wrong because political dependence normally threatens, rather than strengthens, independence. C is wrong because the method of appointment cannot automatically dispose of pending cases. D is wrong because the Constitution remains necessary to define rights, powers and limits. Memory cue: independent judges must be free to decide against powerful people when law requires it.
