Give two reasons why primary victories are important to candidates?

Can presidents order a national holiday?
The US does not have any national holidays in the sense of special days on which all employees refrain from work. There are federal holidays on which all federal employees are excused from work or else are paid extra for working if they are in essential jobs. These federal holidays are set by federal law passed by Congress. I think the President could issue an executive order to close federal offices due to lack of funds or some other emergency situation. The President can also declare special days of observance for various reasons such as a day of prayer, but people are free to ignore them if they wish.
Historically for what kinds of bad behavior have federal judges been removed from their positions?
Although it does not say it in Article III, removal of a federal judge must be through the impeachment process on grounds that equate to the reasons that would trigger impeachment proceedings under Article I and II, namely treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Article III does not specify this, but prior federal cases have ruled that this is the standard by which "good behavior" is to be judged.
What was NOT a reason why the Framers opposed direct democracy?
Framers opposed a direct democracy for many reasons. The most important reason is because they were afraid of the rule of a majority.
What were the reasons of the Hatch Act?
The Hatch Act was a law passed to prohibit federal employees from participating in certain forms of partisan activities, or basically politics. This would ensure basic fairness and an unbiased federal government. Take for example, an employee at FBI making large donations or giving speeches to a Democratic candidate for senator. Some may misconstrue this as the FBI organization as a whole advocating or endorsing this candidate. ChaCha!
