US Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority in the United States. Its main job is to interpret the Constitution and federal laws, ensuring they are applied fairly and consistently. It reviews cases that involve important legal or constitutional questions, often from lower courts. The Court’s decisions set legal precedents that influence American law and society. Consisting of nine justices, appointed for life, the Court operates independently from other branches of government, providing a crucial check and balance to ensure laws and executive actions adhere to constitutional principles.
