Question 6

with the refence to the sepration of powers, ecplain why the jugdes may not be elected members of parliaments and sevre in the governemnt

Answer 6

Judges are not allowed to be in Parliament or the government because of something called separation of powers. This means that the government is split into three parts: the people who make the laws (Parliament), the people who carry out the laws (the government), and the people who decide if the laws are fair (judges).

If judges were in Parliament or the government, they might mix up their jobs, which could make it hard for them to be fair. They need to make decisions based only on the law, without worrying about politics. Keeping judges separate from the other parts of the government helps make sure they can do their job fairly and protect people’s rights.
