Which of the following is TRUE about Supreme Court justices? A. They are the country’s foremost authorities on state constitutio
Luda [366]

The correct answer is:

<h2>C. They are the country's foremost authorities on the Constitution.</h2>

Answer A is incorrect.  Each state has its own Supreme Court for that purpose.

Answer B is incorrect.  In some cases, where there has been an even number of justices on the court, review of a case may end in a split decision.  When a split decision occurs, then the Supreme Court's action (or lack of action, we could say) doesn't establish any legal precedent in the matter.

Answer D is incorrect.  The Chief Justice and Associate Justices all serve for life or until resignation.   There are no "temporary" justices.
