The Supreme Court building is full of symbolism that represents the highest intentions for the U. S. judicial system. –Engraved on the building above the entrance are the words EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW.

–When you stand directly in front of the building, you see eight columns supporting the entrance. If we think of eight “pillars” as fundamental ideas that concerned citizens believe contribute to equal justice, we might label the first seven:

civil rights
individual rights
States’ rights
limits on power
safety
freedom from bias
constitutionality
?
What would you label the 8th pillar? Why? (Take into account the Essential Question into the answer)
