Question 13 • MASTER COURSE U.S. Government

Which would most likely fall under the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court?

Answer
A
a case between two companies
B
a case between two states
C
a case appealed from a lower court
D
a case involving the laws of a single state

Explanation

The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction over certain cases that go directly to it, including disputes between two or more states. A case between two states therefore fits original jurisdiction. Cases appealed from lower courts fall under appellate jurisdiction, not original jurisdiction.
