Question

Which statement is NOT true about the U.S. Supreme Court?

1. Acts as the last court of appeals
2. Decides local civil cases dealing with small amounts of money
3. Hears cases that involve the U.S. Constitution

Answer 1

Answer:

2 is false.

Explanation:

The supreme court does act as the last court of appeals (with cases regarding constitutional law and federal law), after local and state courts. It also hears cases that involve the US Constitution. Small Claim Courts settle local cases involving small amounts of money, not the Supreme Court. Therefore, 2 is false.

Answer 2

#2 is false. the supreme court usually only hears cases that would resolve a conflict of a law, cases that are important, cases involving prior supreme court decisions that were disregarded by the lower courts and cases that the justices find interesting.
