The document summarizes and compares the "insurance logic" and "hegemonic preservation logic" arguments for why politicians delegate power to courts.
The insurance logic argues that politicians empower courts to protect future political minorities from threats. Politicians anticipate losing power and strengthen courts beforehand so courts will protect them later.
The hegemonic preservation logic argues that dominant elites empower courts to insulate favored policies from majoritarian change, as long as judges uphold the elites' preferred policies. Elites delegate power to prevent losing control over key issues.
Both arguments propose politicians strengthen courts before anticipated loss of power. However, insurance logic requires politicians later becoming minorities, while hegemonic preservation only needs elites maintaining influence through

EXERCISE 2
Levels of measurement are important because they serve as a way to think about both the amount of information available in a measure and the mathematical properties of the measure. In this exercise you are going to consider the amount of information available in variables that measure the same concept with different levels of measurement.
For each of the variables below, identify the level of measurement. Second, explain why one variable provides more information than the other. Finally, why might you prefer to use one measure over the other? Why is capturing more information important?
Concept: Education
Variable #1: What is your highest completed level of education?
No formal education
Elementary school
Middle school
High school College
Advanced degree
Variable #2: How many years of formal education have you completed?
EXERCISE 3
Herrmann, Tetlock, and Visser1 define the disposition of military assertiveness as âthe inclination toward different methods of defending American interests abroad, in particular, whether a person prefers more militant and assertive strategies or more accommodative and cooperative approaches.â To measure military assertiveness, they used ten items. For the first eight items, they asked respondents to indicate whether they strongly agreed, agreed, neither agreed nor disagreed, disagreed, or strongly disagreed with the statement.
Which of the following items do you think are the most valid measures of the concept of military assertiveness and why? Which ones do you have trouble relating to the concept and why? What kind of validity (face or construct) do you think the items exhibit?
1. Â The best way to ensure world peace is through American military strength.
2. Â The use of military force only makes problems worse.
3. Â Rather than simply reacting to our enemies, itâs better for us to strike first.
4. Â Generally, the more influence America has with other nations, the better off they are.
5. Â People can be divided into two distinct classes: the weak and the strong.
6. Â The facts on crime, sexual immorality, and the recent public disorders all show that we have to crack down harder on troublemakers if we are going to save our moral standards and preserve law and order.
7. Â Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn.
8. Â Although at times I may not agree with the government, my commitment to the United States always remains strong.
9. Â When you see the American flag flying, does it make you feel extremely good, somewhat good, or not very good?
10. Â How important is military defense spending to you personally: very important, important, or not at all important?
Most valid measures of the concept of military assertiveness:
Worst âfitâ for concept:

Slide 1 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016WestCal Academy
Â
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.

2. Overview
⢠Key question:
â What are the origins of judicial power?
⢠Recall concept of judicial power, and then think about the
causes of judicial empowerment
â Why do courts become stronger (gain more power) in
some places or at some point in time, while they fail
to do so in other places and times?
⢠Underlying puzzle:
â Why do politicians delegate power?
â Why would politicians choose to give away some of
their power â effectively constraining themselves â by
empowering another branch of government (courts)?
2
3. Overview
⢠We look closely at two explanations:
â Ginsburgâs insurance logic
â Hirschlâs hegemonic preservation logic
⢠Objetives:
1) General understanding of each argument
2) Understand concrete sequence of events
expected by each argument
3) Be able to apply the argument to different
episodes of reform in order to judge whether
the arguments help explain judicial
empowerment, or which argument offer a better
explanation of reform
3
4. Ginsburg 2003
⢠Insurance Explanation of Judicial
Reform/Empowerment
⢠Generally, what does Ginsburg mean when he
says that judicial reform is motivated by the
desire for âpolitical insuranceâ?
⢠Short answer:
â Judicial reform (giving power to courts) in the present
makes sense if politicians are trying to protect
themselves from some future threat
â That is, enhancing the real power of courts today so
those courts will protect you tomorrow is the
equivalent of âbuyingâ insurance today in order to be
protected from some future risk/danger
4
5. Concrete sequence of expected events
1) Present political majorities (dominant, ruling group)
feels some threat or uncertainty regarding their future
power (e.g., electoral margins getting thinner over time,
polls or research anticipate upcoming defeat)
2) Prior to election in which present majority anticipates a
real possibility of losing (and thereby becoming the
political minority), they pursue judicial reform
3) Judiciary is strengthened in real terms; that is, it
acquires real power to protect political minorities
4) Alternation in power
5) Newly powerful court protects new political minority
*** Note: evidence in favor of argument would be strongest if all 5
events are observed, but do you really need all 5?
What if you only observed the first 3 and then the initial political
majority still managed to remain in office?
5
6. Hirschl 2001
⢠Hegemonic preservation argument
⢠Generally, what does Hirschl mean when he says that
judicial reform is motivated by âhegemonic
preservationâ?
⢠Short answer:
â Hegemonic (i.e., dominant) elites preserve their power
and influence
â These elites only empower courts if sympathetic, friendly
elites are among the judges on the courts
6
7. Hegemonic Preservation
⢠Longer answer:
â Cultural, economic, and legal elite join forces to
delegate policymaking authority to judiciary
â Insulate or protect preferred policies from
majoritarian processes
â Says electoral competitiveness is not necessary
(105)
Âť Is this correct?
7
8. Concrete sequence of expected events
1) Present political majorities (dominant, ruling, hegemonic
group) feels some threat or uncertainty regarding their
future power
2) Prior to losing power/influence in majoritarian branches of
government, dominant elites delegate power over key policy
issues to the judiciary
1) Move key policies from majoritarian arenas to
minoritarian ones
3) Only do so if judges are part of the dominant
cultural/political group
4) Old dominant group loses control of majoritarian offices
5) Newly powerful court continues to protect and uphold
preferred policies of old dominant group
*** Note: again, evidence in favor of argument would be strongest if all 5 events are observed, but do
you really need all 5?
What if you only observed the first 3 and then the initial group still managed to remain in office?
8
9. Conclusions
⢠How are the two arguments similar?
â If Ginsburg and Hirschl are correct, what would
you expect to see in the real world that would be
consistent with both arguments?
⢠How are they different?
â If only one or the other is correct (Ginsburg or
Hirschl), what are some concrete events you could
look for in the real world that would help you say
that it was definitely insurance or definitely
hegemonic preservation that explained an episode
of judicial reform?
