Supreme Court opinions

Supreme Court opinions are formal statements from the United States Supreme Court that explain the reasoning behind their decisions on legal cases. Each opinion outlines the facts of the case, the legal questions involved, and the Court’s interpretation of the law. Opinions can be majority opinions, which reflect the views of the majority of justices, or dissenting opinions, which express disagreement with the majority. These writings shape legal precedent, influencing future cases and guiding the interpretation of laws. Ultimately, they convey how the Court views constitutional issues, balancing individual rights with government powers.
