Legal questions only necessary for case resolution

Legal questions are typically not decided by the court unless they are essential for resolving the current case at hand. Precedents like 'Independent State Legislature v. More' and 'Nixon v. United States' illustrate that the court does not establish precise legal standards unless they are pivotal to a specific case. In the absence of explicit mentions in the Constitution, rights and protections, such as executive immunity and executive privilege, are not inherently acknowledged, suggesting that unless explicitly outlined in the Constitution, certain legal concepts may not hold ground.
