The Supreme Court is that it is the highest court in the country. This being said it also has the most power. With this power the Supreme Court has the ability to all actions made by the legislative branch and the executive branch. Without John Marshall the Supreme Court would not have the power to review and rule towards laws made by Congress. However, I did not know that the Supreme Court only started out with six justices. I always was taught that the number was nine justices and I had wrongfully assumed that it had always been nine.
The Supreme Court does more for the country than what people give it credit for and more than what people realize.
Without the Supreme Court things like Civil Rights, First Amendment issues, Law enforcement issues, Presidential rights and issues, Women’s rights, and Lgbtq+ rights, would not be the same that we have today. While some of these have hurt us as a country a majority of the have helped us more than what we realize.
