The difference in political backgrounds can change how a law is created. Like a conservative legislature could pass a law that would align with originalist interpretations, while a liberal legislature may enact laws based on more progressive interpretations. They can also change how a judge views legal precedents or shape their judicial philosophy, affecting how they interpret the constitution. This affects the courts ruling in the citizens case because if the citizen has an opposing political background, it can already create distaste in either the judge if the citizen is on trial or dissatisfaction for the citizen when a law is passed that has an opposing political background. This could lead to unfair trials in court or unconstitutional laws being created which could lead to unhappiness within the citizens and could lead to a disaster, with a worse case scenario being another civil war. discussion respond to classmate
