PSC EXAM 4 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
2024/2025

Cato - President is too strong - ANSWERSalmost kingly



Power of nomination and appointment of judges

Pardon power

Control over foreign affairs

Control over military

Executive veto

Can take personal interests and oppress professors

Republic should be chosen by the people, not by electoral college



Impartial Examiner - objection to presidential veto - ANSWERSNot fair that the legislature has the same
level of influence of 2/3 of congress. Makes president above the law



Hamilton - Energy is Necessary in Executive - ANSWERSNeeded to protect against foreign attacks,
security of liberty, protect property

Need strength, vigor, and energy. If executive energy is bad for republic, sucks for the republic

Confederate congress was bad because there was no energy in executive



Hamilton - Single Executive - ANSWERSFederalist 70

Single person is more responsible to the people, public can put blame

Less group think mentality. Council will be split and take too long to reach decision

Can move quickly and secretly



Hamilton - Conditional Veto is Necessary - ANSWERSFederalist 73

, Congress has a lot of power: necessary and proper clause is broad, power to coin, congress is the
strongest branch

2 arguments

- 1 - president needs constitutional means to prevent encroachments form legislation



- 2 - prevents bad laws from being passed better to have many bad laws prevented than miss a few good
ones



Brutus 15 - Lifetime appointments are problematic in US, okay in England - ANSWERSLess dangerous in
England because judges have less power. No judicial review over constitutionality because there is no
English constitution.

Life appointments were necessary in England to give judges power separate from the king. King controls
their salary and judges would be influenced by King if they did not have lifetime appointment

Judges in US can only be impeached for committing a crime, not for a bad decision or being stupid. Too
high of good behavior bar in US



Brutus 15 - Judicial Review is Dangerous - ANSWERSNo power above the court can correct its errors. The
decision are final, irreversible, dangerous to give court final say



Judicial review of state laws suck up state power. National judiciary will always side with national law



What does judicial review even mean?

Constitution is not self enforcing, can't say if law is unconstitutional or not, the real question is if we give
these problematic humans the power to make decisions, do whatever they think



Hamilton - Judicial is Least Dangerous Branch - ANSWERSexecutive has control of sword (military) and
congress has power of purse (money)



Hamilton - Lifetime appointments are necessary - ANSWERSFederalist 78 - too subject to will of people



If there were temporary terms, judges would be biased and would follow popular opinion

Would the president or legislature elect new judges?
