Supreme Court

The cartoon illustrates the role of the Supreme Court in conjunction with the state and local governments. The players represent the states. They are the main component of the team and without them the game would not be the same. In comparison, the state governments are a vital part of our government and they are in place for better representation of citizens. The coach represents the Supreme Court. He acts as a leader and mediator among the team to ensure they follow the rules and regulations with in the game. The Supreme Court in turn is put into place to determine the Constitutionality of legislation. The legislation that comes to them typically is issues that are too controversial for the states to determine. The coach is overruling the players with a different play. Its important to understand that the Supreme Court is the highest authority. Both the coach and players are a vital part of the team just as the state government and Supreme Court are important in the government.
