Question

Which statement about the Supreme Court is true ?


a. It is the only court that rules on constitutional questions.


b. It issues decisions that cannot be appealed.


c. It hears most of the appeals from district courts.


d. It hears only cases that are under its original jurisdiction.

Answer 1

B is the correct answer.

The Supreme Court is the highest court of appeals in the United States.

So, if you lose at the Supreme Court, you have lost and there is no appeal to a higher court.

Supreme Court litigators are often canny strategists who know when it is appropriate to bring a case that might have a chance of winning.
