Do some brief research on the outcome of the presidential election in 2000. consider the role of the supreme court in that matter of bush v. gore and the balance of powers discussed in this section. do you think that the supreme court had the legal right to involve itself in the outcome of the election? make an argument that defends your claim. use your understanding of the branches of government to support your reasoning.

The Supreme Court has the legal right to involve itself, because of large reasons. For the first reason, The race was tight enough, and no matter what, one of them was going to win. Bush was already 'winning', and so there really wasn't a point of recounting. Also, another reason is that a country cannot be without a leader. If this continued, the US will not have been following it's guideline (if they continue the previous president until finish counting), or will be leaderless. Also, the Supreme Court is there to regulate rules, and at this point, it is just exercising its rights.

hope this helps
