question 10 of 10
how do judicial reviews in the dissent differ from those in the majority opinion?

a. the dissent uses the decisions of the lower courts as evidence.

b. the dissent uses the majority opinion as evidence.

c. the dissent uses cases with similar conclusions as support.

d. the dissent uses summaries written by the court justices as support.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Both majority and dissent can use lower court decisions, so not a difference.
• Option B: The dissent critiques the majority opinion, so it uses the majority opinion as evidence to show flaws, which is a key difference.
• Option C: Both may use similar - conclusion cases, not a unique dissent approach.
• Option D: Summaries by justices are not a distinct dissent - specific support method.

Answer:

B. The dissent uses the majority opinion as evidence.
