Ciara Miller · Answer 1

Option A, an appeal by the US Attorney General regarding drone attacks, is the right answer.

Explanation:

In the federal system of justice, the Supreme Court is at the top in the hierarchy. Being the highest court of the nation, it has some of the very significant power that the other courts do not have. Such additional powers were granted to the Supreme Court by the Constitution of the United States. It has the ultimate power of appellate jurisdiction over all the courts. The power of Judicial Review lies in the hand of the Supreme court.

When it comes to hearing the cases, the Supreme Court hears the cases of the national security first and then the cases of other courts.
