On the supreme court there are nine total justices. This number was previously six. It was changed over time. It was at one point ten. There is one chief justice and eight associate justices.
The supreme court is the highest court in the land. They are the final court. When cases are appealed they end at the supreme court. Usually many cases don't make it all the way to the supreme court.
The supreme court is limited by checks and balances however. The president has to choose justices. This gives him influence over the supreme court. Congress also has influence over the supreme court because the senate confirms justices. <span />

Thiking of conquences cause why not and avoiding danger
As the Persians sought to destroy Athens and was planning to land their ships at marathon and march to Athens. Getting word of the oncoming fleet, the Athenians called upon <span>Phidippides to run the 140 miles to Sparta to ask for aid.
Sparta refused to fight as they religiously couldn't when the moon was full. Although they did later come to protect Athens.
</span><span>Phidippides then had to run all the way back (36 hours, mind you, to deliver the news)
</span><span>
Even without the Spartans, Athens won the battle despite being outnumbered 1:4
the surviving Persians set sail for Athens and by the time that the tired Athenian soldiers arrived back home. The Spartans had come to their aid and defended the city.
</span>
It was basically the first instance of cooperation in the face of a military conquest against another city-state - in this case, where Athens received aid.
My favourite videos explaining this. (although history channel does tend to exaggerate, it's 1 to 4 in a ratio of Athenians to Persians)

Answer:
he Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first written constitution of the United States. Written in 1777 and stemming from wartime urgency, its progress was slowed by fears of central authority and extensive land claims by states. It was not ratified until March 1, 1781. Under these articles, the states remained sovereign and independent, with Congress serving as the last resort on appeal of disputes. Significantly, The Articles of Confederation named the new nation “The United States of America.” Congress was given the authority to make treaties and alliances, maintain armed forces and coin money. However, the central government lacked the ability to levy taxes and regulate commerce, issues that led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 for the creation of new federal laws under The United States Constitution.
From the beginning of the American Revolution, Congress felt the need for a stronger union and a government powerful enough to defeat Great Britain. During the early years of the war this desire became a belief that the new nation must have a constitutional order appropriate to its republican character. A fear of central authority inhibited the creation of such a government, and widely shared political theory held that a republic could not adequately serve a large nation such as the United States. The legislators of a large republic would be unable to remain in touch with the people they represented, and the republic would inevitably degenerate into a tyranny. To many Americans, their union seemed to be simply a league of confederated states, and their Congress a diplomatic assemblage representing thirteen independent polities. The impetus for an effective central government lay in wartime urgency, the need for foreign recognition and aid and the growth of national feeling.
