Who is Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court is like the final judge in a big game that decides rules for everyone.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game, and someone breaks the rules. You all argue about what should happen next. If you can't agree, you might go to a teacher, who acts like a bigger judge, to help settle it. Now imagine that teacher is the Supreme Court. They’re the last people who get to decide if the rules are fair or not.

The Supreme Court has nine special judges, called Justices, who work together. When there’s a big disagreement, like about whether something in school is allowed, they meet and talk it through. They use clues from the rules and past games to make their final decision.

Sometimes, when people argue about things that affect all of us, like how much money we pay for things or what rights we have, the Supreme Court gets involved. Their decisions can change how everyone plays the game, not just in school but in life.
