Which of the following federal courts exercises both original and appellate jurisdiction? a. the supreme court b. court of appeals c. district court d. the court of appeals for the federal circuit

The correct answer is A. The Supreme Court exercises both original and appellate jurisdiction.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the United States, and the head of the nation's judiciary. It consists of a Chief Justice of the United States and eight Associate Judges named by the President of the United States and confirmed with the "counsel and consent" of the Senate. The office of judges is life-long, but they can be replaced or removed if they resign, if they retire - in which case they retain their title and certain capacity for action - or if they have committed a crime and are being challenged. The Court meets in Washington DC. The Supreme Court is primarily a court of appeal, but it has jurisdiction over a small number of cases.

In original jurisdiction, the Court decides in the first and only instance of disputes specifically indicated by law, as in the case of foreign ambassadors, consuls and representatives in addition to those in which a State is a party.

In appellate jurisdiction, however, the court decides on the appeal of a sentence issued by a lower court, with the limits and exceptions provided by Congress. In the appellate jurisdiction, the Court can decide upon the request of a federal judge who, called to apply a law, has considered it contrary to the Constitution.
