The US court system is designed so that most cases can be resolved before making it to the Supreme Court. Which detail from the article
provides the BEST support to this statement? *
A. This is because the US Constitution, the supreme law of the land in the United States,
creates a federal system of government in which power is shared between the federal
government and the state governments.
B. Today, the Supreme Court receives far more requests to hear a case than it ever did in
the past. It receives from 7000-8000 new petitions for writ of certiorari per year.
C. Unlike all lower courts, it gets to decide which cases it will hear. In fact, while around
8000 new cases are filed with the Supreme Court every year, only about 80 are
actually heard and decided by the Court.
D. In the US, there are 94 federal judicial districts. These are divided into 12 regional circuits, each of which has a court of appeals. The appeals courts decide whether or
not lower trial courts applied the law correctly in their decisions.
