The Judicial Branch

By

 Nicholas Alexander Walker 

 

 

    

 

 

     The Judicial Branch is the third branch of the United States’ government.  The first branch is legislature, or congress, which passes laws.  The second and executive branch enforces laws.  The judiciary holds the two prior branches in check by interpreting the laws passed by the legislature, determining their meaning and whether they are valid. Statutes are invalid if they are contrary to the United States Constitution.  Even those statutes that are consistent with the constitution need to be interpreted and applied. The Supreme Court has a strong influence on the nation because they have the ability to make a decision that affects millions of people.
