The Constitution and the Court
In the supreme court sit nine justices that read and analyze court cases and make sure that no one was
violated of their constitutional rights. The supreme court is the highest judicial court on earth, when the
court was established in 1789 and it was made to uphold the rule of law and to protect the union. In the
supreme court petitions arise in thousands, the justices sit in their chambers and read the cases and
they come together and have meetings. In these meetings they do several things. First, they discuss
what cases they would like to hear. Secondly, during these meetings they vote on cases that they
already have heard. The chief justices help guide the meeting to make sure everyone is heard,
one chief justice put a rule that everyone speaks once before someone speaks twice. Since the supreme
court was established in 1789 there have been about one hundred supreme court justices, the average
time for a justice to be in their seat is sixteen years. John Marshall was the first chief justice of the court,
the court earned respect through Marshall. Under the leadership of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney one
case was considered the wound of the court, the case was the Dred Scott case. In this case it did not
give freedom to slaves that lived in free states. He also said that congress had no power to exclude
slavery from the territories. It was not until the fourteenth amendment was passed in 1866 that the
supreme court started to earn back some of the respect and power.
