A government disagrees strongly with a decision made by a judge. What can it do?
- It can order the judge to change the decision
- It can dismiss the judge from the court at once
- It can give the case to a police officer instead
- Nothing — it cannot take away the judge's job ✓
Why this is the answer
The government appoints judges, but it cannot remove them because it dislikes their decisions. This keeps them independent.
