group project

Today, we worked in pairs on our new project which is to explain the US. Constitution. Arthur and I are paired up and we are assigned Article III which is about judicial branches. We started a googledoc and beginned searching information to interpret this Article. 

Here is what I done so far:

The power to interpret the law of the United States will be held by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the lower federal courts.

The Constitution allowed Congress to create other, inferior lower courts over time. As the case load of the Supreme Court grew, Congress was able to create the lower federal courts to help.

Federal judges will hold office “during good behavior” and they shall receive “compensation” for their services.

• Once they are appointed, they cannot break the law in order to keep their positions in the court. In effect, most federal judges serve a life term (since the Constitution does not state a time limit or number of years).
• Once appointed, their salaries cannot be “diminished” or decreased. This protects the judges from being manipulated through their salary
