Your numerous typos make it clear that you don't really take this school assignment seriously. And that's obviously what this is, a homework assignment. I'm doing you a disservice by providing you with the answers in so easy a format, but perhaps you'll learn something by my additional comments or be encouraged to actually do the assigned readings and maybe even study the next time. Don't wait until the last minute and do as much of the work as you can for yourself. People who take the easy way out rarely find success in the long run.





1. The supreme Court can [reverse] or confirm [decisions] made by lower courts. -- TRUE





2. The [president] has the power to remove a supreme court justice from office. -- FALSE. Justices can only be removed involuntarily if impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate.





3 The supreme court remains in session [throughout] the year. -- FALSE. Their term starts on the first Monday in October and runs through the spring.





4. Only a majority vote is needed for the Supreme Court to render a decision. -- TRUE. Legally, a 5-4 decision is just as good as 9-0. A 4-4 tie can result if there is a vacancy or if a justice recuses him- or herself. In that event, the lower court decision will stand.





5. The supreme court makes all decisions behind closed doors. -- TRUE. Their discussions take place without anyone else present at all. They then write their decisions and pass them around for comment and support. Their decisions are then made public, laying out the reasons behind the ruling and dissents.





6.Cases involving state governments and [foreign] diplomats are tried before the supreme court. -- TRUE. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases affecting ambassadors, ministers and consuls, and controversies in which a state is a party.





7 The supreme court has only APPELLATE JURISdiction -- FALSE. See response to question 6.





8. the supreme [court] can declare an [existing] law [unconstitutional] -- TRUEI need help with true/false supreme court questions?
