What is it called when the US Supreme Court will not rule on issues they believe should be decided by another branch of government?

These are referred to as political questions and are considered non-justiciable (not capable of, or appropriate for, determination by the courts) Sometimes the Court will originally deem a matter a political question then later change its mind if the government entity responsible for solving the problem (usually Congress) fails to take appropriate action. The Court may then accept a case formerly avoided under the political question doctrine if they involve infringement of constitutional rights An example is Baker v. Carr 369 US 186 (1962), in which the Supreme Court abandoned its position that voting district apportionment was a political question because the states (Tennessee, in this case) failed to draw district lines in a way that guaranteed equal representation to all voters Baker was soon followed by two other cases addressing legislative representation Reynolds v.

Sims 377 US 533 (1964) and Wesberry v. Sanders 376 US 1 (1964).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
