Question 1 • United States History

What is the relationship between the Supreme Court and the lower courts?

Answer
A
The Supreme Court can impeach judges from the lower courts.
B
The Supreme Court can overrule decisions made by the lower courts.
C
The Supreme Court appoints judges to the lower courts.
D
The Supreme Court must abide by the decisions of the lower courts.

Explanation

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the federal judicial system, so it can review cases that come from lower courts. If it finds that a lower court made a legal error, it can reverse or overrule that court’s decision. The Supreme Court does not appoint lower-court judges or impeach them.
