The Canadian Supreme Court selection process is superior to the American Supreme
Court in that it is less politicized. The two main arguments I will be talking about is why the
Canadian Supreme Court selection process is better and how much less power the Supreme
Court has in Canada. There are no qualifications required to be a judge in the American supreme
Court. The constitution does not put any restrictions on who the president may appoint. Rather
than the Canadian Supreme Court qualifications, which requires the candidate must have been a
member of the provincial or territory law for at least ten years. However, these qualifications
might seem a bit irrational. It's necessary that they have these requirements due to their job's
importance. The Canadian Supreme court also doesn't allow anyone older than 75 to be in the
supreme court. Which is a good thing because it allows younger people to enter the job position
rather than the United States, where you have some people dying since you can keep the position
until you die. The American Supreme Court has so much power when, in reality, they should not
be able to control so many aspects of our life. For example, the United States president can pick
who they want to become a judge in the Supreme Court rather than in Canada; it is not up to the
In conclusion, the Canadian Supreme Court process is superior in many ways. The
Canadian Supreme Court makes things less political while also making sure the Supreme Court
candidates are picked fairly. The Canadian supreme also has a lot less power than the American
Supreme Court.
