The U.S Supreme Court
We have always had to take history classes in school. Recently, we were assigned to watch two videos about the US Supreme Court. Videos about the US Supreme Court are one of the most important aspects of our country's justice system. This video was uploaded 11 years ago. According to the official Supreme Court Website (https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/faq_general.aspx), 80 cases are argued throughout the year. It must be annoying to hear all those cases and see which one fits the court's material. The Supreme Court is also a part of the Judicial Branch, which interprets the laws. It's the highest court in the branches. It protects civil rights and civil liberty.
According to the video, there are nine justices in the Supreme Court. Four votes out of nine are required to take the case to the Supreme level. When the Supreme Court first started, the first chief was John Marshall. Marshall made the Supreme Court respected by the court. In many cases, most of the Supreme Court's early age were Civil rights cases. Examples were Dred Scott vs Sandford and Plessy vs Ferguson. The Supreme Court is also a part of the Judicial Branch. What is scary to think is that the Supreme Court has much more power than you think. Its crazy that they have the same power as congress.
while watching the video I have learned so much more about the Supreme Court than what I previously didn't know. it surprises me that anyone can appeal to the Supreme Court. it even showed me to appreciate the justice system more now because some of the smaller courts aren't fair compared to the Supreme Court. At the end of the day, the Judge and jury decide for the future.
