"The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court in the country and is also head of the judicial branch. It was established by the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Court has the jurisdiction over all the laws towards the United States and is in charge for evaluating the constitutionality of these laws". https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-judicial-branch/
The main role is suppose to be the guardian of the constitution. It is the most important institution, they decide who is going to be president, as well as they are notoriously private. Every individual in the supreme court is nominated. They form a major part for the precedency. Sometime justice will throw a curve ball.
The supreme court came from the separation of power, a third branch of government. They sit in the nations capitol. It has evolved overtime by the power of judicial review. This helps shapes the balance of power. Supreme court members serve for the remainder of there life, but sometimes they can become impeached. https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/about-educational-outreach/activity-resources/about
They receive around 7,000 petitions but only choose around 100 cases. They discuss any of the cases, and they choose there cases by having privacy rights, etc. Hearings began in October all the way till June. The hearings are open towards the public. The supreme court come to the conclusion and since there are 9 members, one side always wins. Decisions are usually split.
They implement decisions are sometimes limited, sometimes they must rely on executive and legislature to help them with the decision making. In the end, they hold a lot of responsibilities for the united states of America, and it is also an extreme deal for creating and upholding new as well as old laws.
