THE SUPREME COURT HAS TO

INTERPERT LAWS PASSED BY CONGRESS

THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES IF A PRESIDENT'S

ACTION IS CONSTITUTIONAL.

The Supreme Court also has the power to judge whether federal, state, and local governments are acting within the law.

ORIGINALLY THERE WERE 5 ASSOCIATE JUSTICES

AND A CHIEF JUSTICE

It is important to know how the U.S. Government works so that you will know why people vote for a President.
