Question 5 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

Read the excerpt about United States Supreme Court justices.All Justices are nominated by the President, confirmed by the Senate, and hold their offices under life tenure.—"Our Government: The Judicial Branch,” whitehouse.gov

Answer
A
Reagan’s top aides were confirmed for life by the Court.
B
Reagan’s nominees to the Court had the support of the Senate.
C
Reagan’s influence on government lasted long after his time in office.
D
Reagan’s policies were guaranteed to receive approval from the Court.

Explanation

Supreme Court justices serve for life, so a president’s influence can continue through the justices he appoints even after he leaves office. This supports the idea that Reagan’s influence on government lasted long after his time in office. Their lifetime service did not guarantee that they would approve all of his policies.
