Question 9 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

How are cases heard by the Supreme Court?

Answer
A
The Supreme Court hears all cases that are sent to it.
B
The president decides which cases the Supreme Court will hear.
C
Lower-court judges send significant cases to the Supreme Court.
D
Justices of the Supreme Court decide to hear certain appealed cases.

Explanation

The Supreme Court chooses most of the cases it hears from requests to review decisions made by lower courts. The justices decide whether an appealed case raises an important issue worth hearing. Lower-court judges and the president do not select the Court’s cases, and the Court does not hear every case sent to it. The correct choice is “Justices of the Supreme Court decide to hear certain appealed cases.”
