The correct answer is (c), seven.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. It has nine justices, who are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The justices serve for life, or until they resign or retire.
The Supreme Court hears cases that involve important issues of law, such as the interpretation of the Constitution. In order to hear a case, the Court must have four justices agree to hear it. This is called “granting certiorari.”
Once the Court has agreed to hear a case, it is argued before the justices. The justices then meet in private to discuss the case and vote on the outcome. A majority of the justices must agree in order to decide a case.
The Supreme Court’s decisions are binding on all lower courts in the United States. This means that lower courts must follow the Supreme Court’s decisions when deciding cases.
The Supreme Court is an important part of the American system of government. It plays a vital role in interpreting the Constitution and ensuring that the laws of the United States are applied fairly.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the minimum number of judges required to hear a case involving interpretation of the Constitution.
