The United States Supreme Court
The United States Supreme Court is the highest court in the U.S. legal system, responsible for interpreting the Constitution and federal law. It consists of nine justices who review cases from lower courts, addressing important legal and constitutional issues. Their decisions can impact laws and society, setting precedents that guide future cases. The Supreme Court also has the power of judicial review, allowing it to invalidate laws or actions that conflict with the Constitution. Established in 1789, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the rule of law and protecting individual rights in the United States.
