Question

\four more years\ is a popular chant used by supporters of an incumbent president as he runs for re-election. what is the intended significance of this cartoon?
presidents appoint supreme court justices for life, so their decisions make a lasting impact long after they are gone from the white house
supreme court justices are elected by the people for terms of 40 years, and one of the nine justices is up for re- election every four years.
supreme court justices are appointed by whoever is in the white house every 40 years, so they will have long-lasting decision-making power
supreme court justices must be popular to be selected by the people, so they often agree with other judges to make sure they appear mainstream to voters

Explanation:

To determine the intended significance of the cartoon, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Presidents appoint Supreme Court justices for life. A president's appointment of these lifetime - tenured justices means the justices' decisions will have a long - term impact even after the president leaves office. The cartoon's "forty more years" (a play on the "four more years" presidential re - election chant) implies the long - lasting influence of Supreme Court justices' tenure, which aligns with this option.
• Option 2: Supreme Court justices are not elected by the people; they are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. So this option is incorrect.
• Option 3: Supreme Court justices are appointed by the president (not "whoever is in the White House every 40 years") and they have lifetime tenure, not a 40 - year appointment cycle. Thus, this option is wrong.
• Option 4: Supreme Court justices are not selected by the people, and their role is not about being popular with voters. They are appointed and confirmed, and their decisions are based on the law, not on appealing to voters. So this option is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Presidents appoint Supreme Court justices for life, so their decisions make a lasting impact long after they are gone from the White House
