Answer (3)

The correct answer is the court decides which cases it will hear. And that is because the cases they choose are appealed fromy lower courts until it reaches the Supreme Court. And so they only choose cases that argues about the constitutionality of something, and other stuff.

The Supreme Court decides which cases it will hear, as it has the discretion to select cases based on their legal significance. Each year, it receives many appeals but typically hears only a limited number of them. This involves a process where at least four Justices must agree to grant a writ of certiorari for a case to be considered.
