U.S. Government Explained Ep. 08 - The Judicial Branch
Description
In this episode of U.S. Government Explained, we take a clear, engaging tour through the Judicial Branch—the part of the U.S. government responsible for interpreting laws and protecting constitutional rights. We break down how the court system is structured, from local courts all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. You’ll learn what each level of court actually does, how cases move through the system, and how the courts interact with the other branches of government.
We also explore landmark Supreme Court cases that have shaped American life—from Brown v. Board of Education to Gideon v. Wainwright—and discuss how the Court hears arguments, issues rulings, and writes majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions. You’ll even get a brief look at the judicial philosophies of Justices, and how those philosophies influence real decisions.
If you’ve ever wondered why courts hold so much power, how judges are chosen, or how ordinary people can witness the Supreme Court in action, this episode gives you the essential, easy-to-understand overview.
