The Supreme Court and the Judicial Branch

by Anne Beier

The Supreme Court is the most powerful branch of the government because it determines the constitutionality of laws. Its decisions have major consequences on the political, social, and judicial landscape of the nation. This book clearly explains how the federal and state judiciary systems function and how the appeals process works in determining which cases do end up being decided by the Court.
