What kinds of controls does the public have over the courts? What is the role of interest groups in exercising such controls?

What will be an ideal response?


Democracy allows the people to choose and vote in legislative representatives, judges, and executives, and this in turn allows the public to have some control over the courts.

The public is also able to participate in court through its openness. This availability to observe the court allows the public to decide whether or not they would like to continue to vote this judge into office.

An interest group's purpose is to influence political decisions and policy through campaigning, contributing money, and sharing information to its members and the people they are trying to influence.
