Explanation
Why this works
Keep UK and US institutions, and comparison rather than separate description distinct and explain the political significance of the distinction. This is correct because accurate Politics answers protect the boundary between UK and US institutions, and comparison rather than separate description.
The UK and USA may perform a related political function, whereas their constitutional structures differ; the comparison matters because it changes power and accountability. One viewpoint supports the stated approach.
However, a competing viewpoint may be stronger in another context. Overall, AO3 judgement must follow from political evidence rather than assertion when answering "Analyse and evaluate the relative extent and constitutional bases of the powers of the UK and US Supreme Courts.".
