History and Workings Of The U.S. Supreme Court

    

    Things that I learned about the United States Supreme Court are, that year after year they get petitions asking the Supreme Court to act on Presidents defending their power as commander in chief, or prisoners who say they are wrongfully accused. An important takeaway from the videos is that it has become a model for high courts throughout the world but, the Supreme Court Of The United States Of America remains the most powerful judicial body on Earth. Another important takeaway from the second video is that in a legislative mind, everything is private and doesn't put all the reasons out in public but, a judiciary/court is all public and has no secrets. I also learned that the Bill Of Rights was put into place to protect citizens from federal powers while the fourteenth amendment was put into place to protect citizens from state power. The most surprising fact that I learned is that in all of American History there has only been just over a hundred supreme court justices serving an average of sixteen years and some remain twice the years decades after the president that appointed them has left office. Also another surprising fact is that they don't have record of the 1787 or the 1791 when the Bill Of Rights was added, they only have the Post Civil War Amendments and the Nineteenth Amendment. After watching both videos Supreme Court Pt. 1 and Supreme Court Pt. 2 it definitely changed the way I think about the Supreme Court because it's like there stuck there till death. I feel like they should rotate out every few years due to age. What's really good about the Supreme Court is how it took to power in gaining public respect for they deal with decisions on Civil Rights, Criminal Procedures, Taxes, Labor Law, and Business.
