Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The arguments for appointing judges for life terms is that "it gives job security, therefore enabling the appointed judges serve according to the rules of the land without being influence by the executive or legislative power out of worry that their appointment may be terminated at any given time if a decision is made against the executive wish.

2. The arguments against appointing judges for life terms is that some judges might serve with great impunity, knowing fully well that nobody is going to sack them again based on making decisions on crucial judgments, whether they serve in a right manner and according to the Constitution of the land or not.
