Me w anyone of the questions t. h.a. n.k. y. o.u.

Left Panel

I don't know how to eliminate all the choices, but the answer for this question is E.

A is incorrect. Out of 10000 cases making an appeal to the Supreme court, only 80 are hear.

B: Sometimes a case is heard if only 1 justice wants to hear it because the case is in the realm of his specialty. So B is not true.

C: C is one of those possibilities that is possible that might be true. Actually the cases presented to the court go through a pool of clerks who decide whether or not to pass it on.

D: For the same reason that B is not the answer, I don't think this one is either. The court has in recent history had an odd number of justices. I don't think the chief justice has any more votes than any of the others. The vote rarely is 4 to 4 close, especially recently.

Middle Panel

The answer to this is D to make and pass laws that apply to the state. I'll explain this better in the comments when I'm at home.

Right Panel

I think the closest answer is A. I'll put this one in the comments as well.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.

the answer would be:

b. race
