At the end of World War II, the United States became the true winner. Its territory was not touched by the war and its economy continued a remarkable expansionary rhythm, since its war industry became an industry of peace stimulated by the internal demand and by the order of merchandise destined to the Marshall Plan.

Thus, the United States became the richest state in the world, with 7% of the world population consuming 45% of its wealth.

In the war the United States not only developed its economic, military and nuclear power, but also accumulated symbolic and strategic power after proclaiming itself as a defender of democracy and freedom. The most important effect of this was that it managed to erect a consensus among the American population that was the effective and necessary social base of the new imperial and hegemonic power of the capitalist world.

Which statement about the Supreme Court is true?

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

E. The court can hear only cases that have worked their way up from local courts.

This statement about the Supreme Court is true.

Explanation:

Clients or entities who are not happy with the jurisdiction and result of the lower courts can apply the request or petition at the U.S Supreme Court to hear their case. One can ask for the review of the case by asking it to grant a "writ of certiorari".

This means the lower court where the case was initially filed has to send a copy to the Supreme court for review. It generally never hears cases as such until the case is of national significance or the result of a case might harmonize a conflicting decision to settle or when it might have precedential value.
