What is the different between adnates and lateral stipules

According to shape, size and position

Explanation:

A stipule can be fused to the stem, or to the other stipule from the same node. A stipule is "adnate" if it's fused together on part of the petiole length, but the anterior is still free.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
