C'est ici que l'instance judiciaire joue un grand rôle. Les Américains perçoivent les tribunaux comme les gardiens ultimes de leurs droits et de leurs libertés. La constitution préserve d'ailleurs l'indépendance du pouvoir judiciaire en prévoyant la nomination à vie des juges de la Cour suprême (Supreme Court). La sélection des juges de ce tribunal par le président est donc extrêmement importante. Elle fait l'objet d'une approbation par le Sénat, qui peut interroger le candidat et rejeter sa nomination. La Cour suprême est la seule à être créée par la constitution. Ses pouvoirs y sont d'ailleurs définis. 1, record 2, French, - Supreme%20Court%20of%20the%20United%20States
