Suppose a member of Congress was upset over the way the Supreme Court was interpreting the Constitution and proposed a law that would restrict the Supreme Court's ability to hear cases on appeal?

Such a law would be unconstitutional, since the United States Constitution specifically establishes the judiciary and its scope of power in Article III Article III, Section 1 establishes the judiciary: The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office Article III, Section 2 establishes the Supreme Court's scope of responsibility (excerpt): The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects There are plenty of examples of people, including Congressmen, who have been unhappy with the or with its perceived political leanings. But the Court's mission is to contribute to the government's system of checks and balances, and to interpret the Constitution and legislation, not to cater to the preferences of any individual, party, or political group If enough members of Congress are at odds with the Supreme Court's interpretation of a law, they can change the law.

They cannot, however, restrict the Court's power as granted by the Constitution See Related Links for the full text of the U.S. Constitution, Article III.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
