Abstract
This paper analyzes the ways in which the supreme court's function has transformed, its current structure, and the issues that presently surround the court. In order to maintain freedom and prosperity for the american people, the founding fathers explicitly divided up government responsibilities in the Constitution. A separation of power ensures protection against tyranny. The writers of the Constitution set up the supreme court to lead the Judiciary, the third and weakest branch of the government, and to direct lower, federal courts when necessary. Throughout time, various court rulings have transitioned the court's jurisdiction. Today, the court interprets the Constitution, leads the federal court system, and directs state courts on federal matters.
