Answer 1

Your answer is C.) Supreme court justices serve for life, so their decisions are based only on the laws. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is c. Supreme Court justices serve for life, so their decisions are based only on the laws.

This is so that they don't have to fear reelection or their jobs being lost due to political beliefs. They can be objective because they don't have to cater to either the politicians or the people in order to get power and be reelected. This is a safe way to keep the court as objective as possible.
