Explain the principle of dominance.

Explanation:

The Law of Dominance says that when an organism is heterozygous for a trait,  meaning it has two different alleles for that gene, the allele that is expressed is the dominant one. It is one of the Principles of Mendelian Inheritance, alongside the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
