Tell of the Supreme Court's responsibility in interpreting the Constitution -- in other words, why does the U. S. Constitution play an important part in the work of the United States Supreme Court? Your answer must be 100 words or more. (the original was 300, but I don't want to make you do to much)

The Supreme Court plays a very important role in our constitutional system of government. First, as the highest court in the land, it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. ... Third, it protects civil rights and liberties by striking down laws that violate the Constitution. Congress was established to make laws, while the president's main function is to enforce those laws. It is up to the third branch of government, the judiciary, led by the Supreme Court, to interpret those laws.
