Question 6 • Principles of American Democracy

The selection of federal justices by the executive branch is an example of

Answer
A
original jurisdiction.
B
appellate jurisdiction.
C
advice and consent.
D
checks and balances.

Explanation

The president, part of the executive branch, nominates federal justices, while the Senate must confirm them. This division of power lets one branch limit the power of another, which is an example of checks and balances. Advice and consent describes the Senate’s role in the process, not the executive branch’s selection.
