Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While checks and balances, staggered terms in office, bicameralism, and indirect election were all tools used by the Founders to prevent the dangers of "excessive democracy," senatorial courtesy was not. Senatorial courtesy is a tradition in the Senate in which nominees for certain positions are approved or rejected based on the preferences of senators from the nominee's home state. This is not a tool designed to prevent excessive democracy.
