Why Does the History Principle Apply to the Judicial Branch

Why does the history principle apply to the judicial branch more than the other two branches of the federal government?

A) Judges typically serve much longer careers than members of Congress or executive branch employees.
B) Judges tend to favor plaintiffs from their home districts, so the location of federal courts has a long-term effect on local economies.
C) Courts rely on precedents from previous decisions to guide current questions.
D) The Supreme Court's small size makes it more resistant to changes in process or ideology.
E) The practice of wearing black robes socializes judges into respect for the English heritage of the common law.
