Question 18 • SA FL-2106010-M/J Civics S1 26-27

Which statement best explains why the Supreme Court accepted this appeal?

Answer
A
The case involves an important question about the meaning of the Constitution.
B
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to hear cases of this nature.
C
The justices are required to hear cases that involve First Amendment rights.
D
The justices receive very few requests and have time to review this case.

Explanation

The Supreme Court usually accepts an appeal when it raises an important legal issue, such as how to interpret the Constitution. The Court does not have to hear every case involving First Amendment rights, and it has limited original jurisdiction that applies only to specific kinds of cases. So the best explanation is that the case presents an important constitutional question.
