Supreme Court Reflection

 

The Supreme Court is one of the most powerful buildings in the United States. Its societal view point is shown as tree with many different branches following specific ruling. The ruling involves a smooth operation where its goals include a series of checks and balances in secret to determine constitutional  laws.                                                                                    

The Constitution is a chaotic piece of paper that lists the values of America's nation as a whole. Its main goal is to serve the people of the Nation in a positive way, where revolting is allowed based on citizens rights. It has the nickname of the "Supreme Law of the Land" which means this is the stepping stool of America. It has the connection and aligning structure of each individual state forming a power through checks and balances to create an agreed upon series of events to support constitutional laws.

The Supreme Court has been important in shaping America throughout its history. To sum up John Marshall's connection to the government, John Marshall was appointed Chief Justice and revolutionized the way the Court operated. He led it from a weak third branch and created a Congress with the President as an equal branch of government. John Marshall's court issued a structured amount of decisions that we still have to live with today. A noticed amount of information in history is that they upheld the doctrine of judicial review, under which the Supreme Court could nullify laws that were against the Constitution. They also defined federal power, determining that national legislation could change order of state law when the national laws were in conflict with each other. This changed the nature of our government and helped bring about the balance of power we have between the three branches today.

The Dred Scott case, where the Court ruled Congress had no power to ban slavery, showed the restriction of power in American society. The Civil War did resolve this issue in a way, because the case is shown to be helpful in legal ways towards citizens lives. The process of the Supreme Court contains a series of cases thrown together and reflected through checks and balances together. The goal of the supreme court is not to over rule individuals, but support them in a strong way where everyone is treated equal throughout judicial power.
