United States Supreme Court

The United States Supreme Court is the highest court in the country, established by the Constitution. It consists of nine justices who interpret laws and ensure they align with the Constitution. The Court hears cases that often involve important issues like civil rights, federal laws, and conflicts between states. Its decisions set legal precedents that guide lower courts, making its rulings highly influential. The Supreme Court also has the power of judicial review, meaning it can declare laws or actions by the government unconstitutional, serving as a critical check on legislative and executive power.
