Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court is almost entirely appellate, meaning it hears cases on appeal from lower federal or state supreme courts. While it has the power to hear some original jurisdiction cases, such as those involving disputes between states, this is not its primary jurisdiction. Additionally, its jurisdiction is limited to federal cases, not state cases. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
