The US Supreme Court
The highest court in the United States, with the power of judicial review to declare laws and executive actions unconstitutional — effectively the final interpreter of the Constitution.
Real World
In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022), the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, striking down the constitutional right to abortion established in 1973 — a decision that immediately reshaped law in over 20 states.
Exam Focus
Always name specific landmark cases with dates; asserting that the Court 'is powerful' without case evidence will not access top mark bands.
