Question 53 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

How many seats are on the Supreme Court?

Accepted answer

  • Nine (9)

Why this is the answer

The Supreme Court has nine seats, and one of the nine justices is the Chief Justice. "Justice" is simply the word for a judge on that court. The nine hear each case together, discuss it and vote, and the side with the majority writes the Court's decision. Memory hook: nine justices, and five of them make a majority.
