Ohio Government/Constitution Practice Exam

How was the overburdened Supreme Court issue resolved?

1. By creating district courts and removing travel requirement

2. By increasing the number of Supreme Court judges

3. By limiting the types of cases heard

4. By removing the Supreme Court's authority

The correct answer is: By creating district courts and removing travel requirement

The other options are incorrect because B: Increasing the number of Supreme Court judges does not directly address the issue of an overburdened court. It may temporarily alleviate the workload, but it does not provide a long-term solution. C: Limiting the types of cases heard would also not directly resolve the overburdened Supreme Court issue. This would simply shift the burden to another court or create a bottleneck in the system for certain types of cases. D: Removing the Supreme Court's authority would also not resolve the issue. The Supreme Court plays an essential role in interpreting and upholding the law, and removing their authority would have significant consequences on the judicial system. Overall, creating district courts and removing the travel requirement was the most effective solution to address the issue of an overburdened Supreme Court. This allowed for cases to be more evenly distributed and for the Supreme Court to focus on more complex and significant cases rather than handling a large volume of cases.
