Question

If a court case is heard before the u.s. supreme court, what is most likely true about the case? the case is about how the constitution is being interpreted or applied. the case concerns a dispute about state or federal criminal laws. the case was appealed and overturned in a state appellate court. the case must involve an individual against a state or federal entity.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: The case was appealed and overturned at the state or federal appellate court level.

The supreme court has the highest standing compared to other courts on the lower level. Before a case could be handled in the supreme court, it need to pass both the state and appellate court. Even after passing the lower court, there is only around 1% chance that the case would be heard in the supreme court.
