1. What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know?
The Supreme Court was established in 1789.
2. What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court?
"Supreme Court has the ultimate jurisdiction over all laws within the United States and is responsible for evaluating the constitutionality of those laws. If necessary, the court, which is currently made up of nine justices, has the power to check the actions of the other two branches of government- the Executive Branch of the President and the Legislative Branch of Congress."
3. What was the most surprising thing you learned?
The Supreme Court first assembled on February 2, 1790, at the Merchants Exchange Building in New York City.
4. How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court?
Watching the video made me understand how important the role of the Supreme Court is. Without the Supreme Court, there wouldn't be a branch to protect our civil rights and liberties by being the most powerful and striking down on laws that violate the constitution.
