Write a blog post about how the Supreme Court works and how the building its self displays and represents these important principles and functions of American Government.
Show examples of law and justice within the architecture and art found in the Supreme Court Building. Share your favorite three and why you chose them.
From what I know the supreme court is very elegant. The Supreme Court is the only court created by the constitution, in which It has nine justices. Most cases in the Supreme Court require the court to interpret an existing law. Decisions made by the Supreme Court cannot be appealed in any other court. The architecture and the art displayed in the Supreme Court show a form of power and wealth. By doing this, it establishes a stand to other countries that visit. The statues; Contemplation of Justice and Authority of Law are one of my favorites because I like how it shows the power that we have and what we stand for. Another piece of design I enjoyed was the doors, surprisingly. The doors reminded me of a golden gate that leads to a sacred place. In Justice John Paul Stevens' Chambers he has a statue of "The Thinker" on a table. The sane "think before you act" really applies to this statue and how we deal with dilemmas in our country.
