Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

An unanswered constitutional question about the judicial branch involves

Answer
A
what “good behavior” means, with regard to judicial terms.
B
how a Supreme Court is created.
C
who should approve judges and justices.
D
who should appoint judges and justices.

Explanation

The Constitution says federal judges serve during “good Behaviour,” but it does not define what counts as good behavior or set a fixed term of years. By contrast, it describes the appointment and approval process: the president nominates judges, and the Senate gives its advice and consent. So the unanswered question concerns the meaning of “good behavior” for judicial terms.
