Post #4 -- The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court
     
The Supreme Court was built with the influence of Greek architecture. There are sculptures on the sides building, the one on the left signifying "Contemplation of Justice", and the other on the right signifying "Authority of Law". On the front of the building, the words "EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW" are sculpted in order to establish the power of the supreme court.

The Supreme Court was established by the constitution and it checks and balances the powers of the Legislative and Executive branches. It is the the "law of the land". There are many big cases presented in the court room (shown under). The nine judges decide of a solution for the cases.
