Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Explain that the Framers did not believe that the judicial branch posed a real threat of tyranny.
2. Discuss the Framers' belief that the judiciary would play a very limited role in government.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Note that the Supreme Court decides to hear a case when four justices agree to do so. This is the Rule of Four.
2. Note the many circumstances that increase the likelihood that the Court will accept a case: when the federal government is the party asking for review, when the case involves conflict among the courts of appeals, when the case involves civil rights or liberties, when the case involves the ideological or policy preferences of the justice, and when there is considerable social or political interest in the case.
