What role do judges and the judicial system play in supporting freedom?

How I was seeing this was they all where one big judging system but really there is three roles with in the judicial system first being the legislative branch which usually consist of making the laws. Then comes the executive branch which usually is tasked with enforcing the laws that were created. Then comes the third and final branch which is the judicial branch which is usually tasked with ensuring equal justice. But they all work together to help ensure justice and peace with in the United States. In some cases the judicial branch has the power to change laws through the process of judicial review. So after knowing all that I would have to say that judges themselves play a huge role with in the judicial system Like in some instances if people feel they are getting unfairly treated with in the lower branches of the judicial system they have a choice to go up the chain of command (if you’re willing to pay more money). But in the end the judges I am sure talk to each other anyway will always make the best decision possible with the facts that are brought to them. And that most of the laws that we vote for are usually created by these judges. So all in all judges play a huge role even if we like it or not.  And with all this power these gents and ladies hold they are trying their best to support our freedom.

How does the U.S. Congress, as it exists in its current structure, support and/or limit authentic representation?

The U.S. Congress as it is now is pretty much even since it is made up of so many ladies and gentleman that are different in many ways of how they think and look at certain aspects of the government. So that is how I think it supports and limits the “authentic representation” of our congress. Another way that its supported is by the fact that we the people elect who goes in these spots even though really it’s all about who has the most money and can be more flashy. In my opinion I could care less for the congress and who is in it because of how they were all picked… Somewhere picked and serve for the right reasons but most are in there because they had more money than the other competitor. But then again we chose them and have to deal with it.

In what ways does the U.S. Presidency support and limit the formation of an ideal democracy?

Well In my opinion i would say in this case that the president really has no more power than anyone else in his congress since even if he says he wants something done it has to go through congress and other hoops to either be told that it’s a go or nope sorry most of congress has vetoed that.In the book it talks about how much power the president had back in the day but times have changed, I really think of the president as the puppet and everyone (everyone being congress and all of America) else being the puppeteer. Yes he gets to go to foreign places to either uphold the peace or really just to be a hindrance to other countries and get in the way. When something’s just need to be worked out within that country instead of trying to push our government ways on them, and gets a super pimped out ride according to the History channel. Either way I guess the president can veto a bill but if the congress says something different then the bill can still get passed. So in my opinion I don’t think he really has so much power other than getting famous and maybe getting his face put on some currency.
