Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Describe the United States in terms of its history as a former British colony, its war for independence, its expansion westward, and its survival of a civil war.
2, Discuss the uniqueness of the American court system. In the United States, for example, the accused are innocent until proven guilty. Additionally, judges are appointed for life, reducing political pressures. Americans also have an ability to influence government through litigation.
3, Identify fragmentation in the United States, which leads to greater stability. This fragmentation includes checks and balances, shared powers, a federal system, and a bicameral legislature.
