The Supreme Court interprets laws and determines their constitutionality, operating independently of political pressures due to life terms for justices. Comprising nine justices, the Court's current leadership includes Chief Justice John Roberts and several notable figures like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas. Their key duty is judicial review, established by Marbury v. Madison, which allows the Court to assess the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. This process ensures the Constitution evolves with unwritten traditions that shape American governance.
