Supreme Court: How it Works

    In the government, the Supreme Court makes up the Judicial branch. Cases based on the constitution and the violation of the constitution go here to be settled. But there is a certain process that the court goes through in order to judge cases.

    First, they pick and choose thousands of cases they are sent, then the justices meet to discuss which case may violate the constitution and how the people involved are protected/unprotected. Next, the justices write out arguments and other comments that say why they either agree with the decision or disagree with the decision. When the court runs through this process for a case, they take a long time, usually a few weeks to a few months. The Supreme Court goes through so many cases every year, and they work hard to keep the constitution alive and keep the people's rights going.
