The United States is a constitutional republic with a representative democracy, the political system consists of three branches of government; Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The Supreme Court established under the Judiciary Act of 1789 is an integral part of America’s political system, which plays an important role in the checks and balances between the three branches of Government. The Supreme Court’s role in checks and balances was established following the case of Marbury vs. Madison, when the Supreme Court was granted the ability to perform Judicial Review. Over the last two centuries the Supreme Court has further evolved by becoming more involved with civil liberties and individual rights, as well as by changing the way the constitution
The three branches were established by the Constitution and divided into executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive branch consists of the president and his cabinet, the legislative branch consists of Congress, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, and the judicial branch consists of the Supreme court and other federal courts. Focusing on the judicial branch, the Constitution has established the Supreme Court as the only court to make decisions of national importance.

This created some internal conflict between Marshall and President Thomas Jefferson, however Marshall was able to diffuse this with
The federal jurisdiction is consist of two supreme courts, the supreme court of Texas and the courts of criminal appeal. In the court of criminal appeals it mainly deals with criminal cases where as the supreme court controls only civil cases and cases that involves juveniles. At the local and state levels there are 14 court of appeals, several of them are district courts, elected members, justices and judges. Justice represents the supreme court, the court of criminal appeal, and the court of appeals which fulfil six year terms. The judges represent the lower court and fulfil four year
The quality of judges would without a doubt increase if they were appointed. However, I do not agree with the idea of judges being appointed. When looking at the partisan aspect you notice several possible issues with one issue being, is that individual the right person to do the job.

Nearly all cases that reach the Supreme Court do so after the losing party in lower court asks the court to hear its case. The court issues a Writ of certiorari.
