The Powers of the Judicial Branch
By Phyllis Naegeli


1 Courts and judges make up the judicial branch of our government.
There are three separate court levels in this branch, District Courts,
Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. The Constitution created the
Supreme Court and gave the power of establishing other courts to the
Congress. In 1789, the first Congress used this power to establish the
district and appeals courts – called the lower courts.

2 The power given to courts to interpret the law is called
jurisdiction. The jurisdiction granted to the judicial branch is
limited to federal and constitutional laws. The federal courts hear
cases where a person or group disobeyed the constitution, violated a
treaty, committed a crime on federal property, or broke a federal law.
They also hear cases when a citizen from one state sues a citizen of
another state. The federal courts also hear cases when a foreign
country accuses a government official or U.S. citizen of a crime
against their nation, or a person commits a crime on a U.S. ship at
sea.

3 The lower courts' decisions in these cases set precedent. The
lower court judges are required to give legal reasons for their
decisions. Precedent sets an example to follow for future cases with
related subjects. The decisions reached in these courts can have a
significant effect on the citizens of our country.

4 There are ninety-three U.S. District Courts, with at least one in
each state, one in Washington, D.C., one in Puerto Rico, and one in
each of three territories – Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern
Mariana Islands. Each of these courts has jurisdiction over the cases
in these areas.

5 There are two sides to every disagreement brought before the
courts. The respondent is the person or group accused or sued. The
petitioner is the side who accuses or sues. Both sides usually have an
attorney to present their arguments before a judge and jury. A
respondent can waive his right to a jury and choose to have a decision
made by the judge alone. Each attorney has the opportunity to present
the facts and laws that support their client's argument. After the
information is presented, a verdict is reached. If the verdict is
unfavorable, the case can be reviewed by the appeals court.

6 There are thirteen U.S. Court of Appeals. The United States is
divided into eleven circuits; each one has an appeals court. In
addition, there is one in the District of Columbia and another – the
Federal Circuit – that hears cases involving government agencies. There
are six to twenty-eight judges in each circuit. Their job is to review
the decisions made in the district courts. About one-fifth of the cases
in district court are reviewed by the appeals court. No new facts are
presented to the appeals court. The judges go through the written
materials from the case, hear some oral arguments if necessary, and
present their decision.

7 There are three decisions made at the appeals court level. The
first is to affirm the decision of the lower court. When the appeals
court decides that individual rights were preserved and the law was
properly applied to the case, the court upholds the decision of the
district court. If the appeals court finds that the district court did
not apply the law properly, the appeals court overturns the district
court decision. If an individual's rights were violated in the case,
the appeals court returns the case to district court where it must be
retried. When a case receives an unfavorable decision in appeals court,
the Supreme Court can review the case.

8 The Supreme Court is the highest court in our nation. Nine judges
– called justices – serve on the Supreme Court. Cases brought before
this court for review come from the lower federal courts or from the
highest state courts – if the case involved a constitutional question.
The Supreme Court does not give a decision on every case that is
presented to it. If the Supreme Court refuses to hear a case, the
decision reached by lower court is final. In essence, refusing to hear
a case is an unspoken agreement with the decision of the lower court.
The Supreme Court does not have to explain its reason for refusing to
hear a case.

9 When the Supreme Court decides to hear a case, the petitioner and
the respondent each prepare a written brief. In a case where the
outcome will affect a group, but the group is not involved in the case,
a "friend of the court" brief may be requested. After the court has all
briefs, the justices hear oral arguments. Attorneys have strict time
limits of thirty minutes to present their case. During this time, the
justices may ask questions to clarify the information given. Once oral
arguments are complete, the justices meet in a private conference to
discuss the case. The chief justice begins the discussion and gives his
or her opinion. Then each associate justice speaks by seniority. At the
end of the discussion, the votes are tallied. If the chief justice
votes with the majority, he or she decides who will prepare a draft of
the Court's opinion. If the chief justice does not vote with the
majority, the senior justice voting with the majority chooses who will
draft the opinion. The justices review the draft opinion and decide
whether they will give it their endorsement. This endorsement is the
final decision of the court and may differ from the decision made in
conference.

10 Three types of opinions are handed down in a Supreme Court case.
The first is the majority opinion. This states the views of the
majority of the justices on the result of the case and the basis for
deciding it. One of the justices may also issue a concurring opinion.
This kind of opinion may agree with the result of the case but disagree
with the basis used for the decision. A justice may also give a
dissenting opinion, which gives an opposing view of the case and
presents the reasons for the opposition. Dissenting opinions are
generally for future Supreme Courts to review. Decisions by the Supreme
Court are final with two exceptions. First, if the Supreme Court
decides a law is unconstitutional, the Congress can pass a
constitutional amendment to allow the law. Second, another Supreme
Court decision can change the result. Where the Supreme Court has
overturned a previous decision, dissenting opinions usually had an
influence on the outcome.

11 The president appoints the people who serve in the judicial
branch. The framers of the constitution wanted to keep these positions
free from political pressure. This presidential authority has become
one of the greatest powers given to the leader of our country. Because
judges and justices can serve for life, a president can choose people
whose beliefs about the government are similar. This can influence
decisions made in our country for many years to come. However, highly
controversial people may not pass the test required for appointment.
The Senate is responsible for approving all judicial appointments.
Through hearings and review of the person's record, the Senate must
decide if the choice is proper.

12 Our court system was designed to allow people to have their
grievances heard. In addition, the judicial branch provides protection
from unfair laws and ensures that the constitution remains the guiding
force in our country.

North America Reading Comprehension Worksheet

Directions: Read the document and answer the questions below.

Over 100,000 Germans migrated to the English colonies in North America.
Most of them settled in Pennsylvania. Others settled in New York,
Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia. They formed the largest
non-English-speaking community in colonial North America.

During the 1600s and 1700s, wars ravaged Germany. Marching armies
trampled down fields of grain, stole cattle, and burned down
farmsteads. In their wake, famines spread over the land. Taxes, levied
to pay for the war, added to the people's plight.

Religious disputes also drove people to leave their homes. In Europe
the rulers chose what church they wanted in their lands. Many pious
Germans of strong convictions found this hard to bear. North America,
especially Pennsylvania, offered them religious freedom.

Wendy's World - A Man With a Dream
By Jane Runyon


1 Wendy heard the telephone ring from her bedroom. A few minutes
later her mother called up the stairs, "Wendy."

2 "Yes, Mom," she answered.

3 "Would you please come down here? I have an invitation for you,"
said her mother.

4 "Sure," answered Wendy as she went down the stairs. "What is the
invitation?"

5 "That was Tim and Tess's mother on the phone," her mother
explained. "The children would like for you to come to their house to
see their wax museum."

6 "Their what?" asked Wendy.

7 Her mother continued, "Tim and Tess's class is having a wax
museum at school. Each of the children has chosen an admired person.
Each has done research on that person."

8 "But, what does that have to do with wax?" asked Wendy.

9 "Models of famous people are created in a wax museum," said her
mom. "People can come to the museum to learn more about the famous
people. Tim and Tess are going to act like statues that come to life
and tell about themselves."

10 "That sounds like fun," announced Wendy. "May I please go over
there now?"

11 "Yes," said Mom, "just be back in time for dinner."

12 "I will," said Wendy as she put on her coat.

13 Wendy knocked on Tim and Tess's front door. Their mother ushered
her in. "Welcome to the Second Grade Wax Museum," she said. "Feel free
to look around. If you have any questions, please ask the statues. They
will answer you."

14 Wendy started to walk around the living room. She saw several
boys and girls in various poses. She walked up to Tim. He was dressed
like Abraham Lincoln. "Tell me about yourself," she said.

15 Tim told her about the life of Abraham Lincoln. He knew a lot
about President Lincoln. She walked over to Tess. She was dressed like
Clara Barton. "How did you start the Red Cross?" Wendy asked.

16 Tess came to life. She told Wendy about the Red Cross. Wendy
continued around the room. She asked questions of Babe Ruth, George
Washington, Sacagawea, Nathan Hale, and Mia Hamm. She stopped at the
last statue. "I'm not sure who you are supposed to be," she said. "Will
you please tell me about yourself?"

17 The young man, dressed in a suit, came to life. "My name is
Martin Luther King, Jr. When I was born, my mother named me Michael. I
changed it to Martin when I grew older. My grandfather was a minister.
My father was a minister. And I was a minister. My wife's name is
Coretta Scott King. We have two sons and two daughters. I have seen
people of my race being treated badly all my life. They have not had
the same rights that white people have. Black people are citizens of
this country. The rights of citizens are called civil rights."

18 "Did you do anything to change the problems?" asked Wendy.

19 "I tried," stated the young version of Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I led my people in a boycott of the bus system in my city, Montgomery,
Alabama. They did not ride the public buses for over a year. I led
parades and gave speeches. I taught black people to demand their
rights, but in a peaceful way."

20 "Was your job easy?" Wendy asked.

21 "I was arrested many times," answered Dr. King. "I was beaten
up. My house was bombed. No, it wasn't easy."

22 "What do you think your proudest moment was?" asked Wendy.

23 "I led a march in Washington, D. C." answered Dr. King.
"Hundreds of thousands of people were at that march. I gave a speech. I
told the people that I had a dream. I dreamed that one day people of
all races would be able to walk and play and pray together. I am very
proud of that speech."

24 "Were you successful?" asked Wendy.

25 "I believe I was," said Dr. King. "I worked with President
Kennedy and President Johnson. We helped pass laws protecting the
rights of all citizens."

26 "Are you still working today?" Wendy asked.

27 "No," answered Dr. King, "I was shot and killed in April of
1968. But people still celebrate my life. Each January my birthday is
celebrated on the third Monday of the month."

28 "Why did you choose to be Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?" Wendy
asked the boy.

29 "I am very proud of what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did for all
of the citizens of the United States," said the boy. "He stepped
forward when he saw something he thought was wrong. And most of all,
I'm proud that he is black, just like me."

30 "You all did a wonderful job," said Wendy to the whole group.
"And Dr. King, I'm very glad I learned more about you. I'm proud that
you are an American, too."

The Planet Facts!
By Trista L. Pollard


1 Our planet is unique. We are one of nine planets in our solar
system. Yet, Earth is the only planet with liquid water on its surface.
We also have an atmosphere filled with valuable oxygen. These are some
of the interesting facts earth scientists study. As you may have
guessed, there are a lot more interesting facts about our planet.

2 If our planet came with a fact label, we would find out that
Earth is covered with about 70% water. That means over 3/4 of our
planet is covered with water. This water is called a global ocean. If
we were to travel into space and look back at Earth, you would see that
the globes in your classroom are very close models. Earth is a blue
oblate spheroid or slightly flattened sphere. In fact, if you saw the
Earth, it would look as if its poles were flat. The area around the
equator would look like it was bulging. This area is called the
equatorial zone. You see, the Earth is not perfectly round. The reason
for this interesting shape is our planet's movement on its axis. The
force from the Earth's spinning causes the poles to flatten. This same
force causes the equator to appear to stick out.{{7}}

3 If you could measure the distance around the Earth passing the
poles, it would be 40,007 kilometers. This is called the Earth's
pole-to-pole circumference. The circumference around the Earth along
the equator is 40,074 kilometers. Did you know our surface is mostly
smooth? Even though we have some of the highest mountains and deepest
valleys, the Earth is not a very bumpy place. If you measured the
distance from the tallest mountain to the deepest part of the ocean, it
would be less than 30 kilometers. Speaking of the deep, earth
scientists have learned more about the inside of our planet during the
last fifty years.

4 The interior or inside of the Earth has many parts. There are the
compositional zones and the structural zones. The compositional zones
(C-Zones) are the crust, mantle, and core. The Earth's crust takes up
about 1% of the Earth's mass. There is crust under our continents (
continental crust) and under our oceans (oceanic crust).


C-Zone
What are they like?

Crust
Thin, solid first layer; similar to a rocky shell.
Mantle
Layer below the crust; has denser material; a thick layer of hot
rock;{{6}}

Core
Center and last layer; scientists believe it is made with solid metal
(nickel) and mostly iron.


5 The lower part of the crust is also called the Mohorovicic
discontinuity or Moho{{5}}. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers thick.
Unlike the crust, it takes up almost 60% of the Earth's mass. Finally
the core or center sphere has a radius of about 3,500 kilometers. In
The Planet Facts! Part 2, you will learn about the Earth's structural
zones.
The Planet Facts! Part 1
1.
The Earth has an equatorial circumference of ______.
About 12,756 kilometers
About 40,007 kilometers
About 40,074 kilometers
None of the above

Three-fourths
One-fourth

READING-1-^^^^^^^^^^^^^SECOND PERIOD
Standing Up & Sitting In
By Beth Beutler


1 I was at Woolworth's that day. I remember it being a very cold
day. There was a little bit of snow on the ground. We typically did not
get much snow in the Carolinas, and what we did get did not last long.
However, it was windy and cold, so it looked like this would stay for
at least today. I would soon discover it was cold in more ways than
one.

2 Mom was sending me to the store to pick up some school supplies.
I had run out of lined paper and pencils, and Woolworth's always had
the best prices. Since I was now 12, she felt I was old enough to walk
the two blocks to Main Street. I was very excited! Mom had even given
me a little extra money to buy a hot chocolate from the lunch counter.
Of course, she made me promise to come straight home after I enjoyed
it. She told me I would not be allowed to enjoy this freedom again for
a very long time if I did not obey.

3 So I bundled up in my parka and pulled on my boots and gloves. I
double-checked that the money was securely in the deep pocket of my
coat and headed out.

4 "Bye, Mom!"

5 "Bye, dear. Be careful and hurry back!"

6 Even though my boots were heavy, I nearly skipped the entire way
to the store. This was great!

7 I entered the store and headed to the school supplies. I found
the paper right away, but was having trouble finding the pencils. Then
I heard someone say, "Can I help you find something?"

8 I looked up and gulped. It was a young black man, who I guessed
to be about 18. He was dressed in a coat and tie and had a bright
smile. I got nervous, though. My mom had always told me not to talk to
strangers, especially black people. I could never understand why that
made a difference.

9 "Uhh, I can't find the pencils," I stammered.

10 "Oh, they are around the corner in the next aisle," he responded
kindly.

11 "Uhh, okay. Thanks," I quickly answered then quickly trotted off.

12 I soon forgot about my nervousness as I got caught up looking at
a few toys. Before long, though, I remembered about the hot chocolate.

13 As I walked toward the lunch counter, I noticed the black man
and his friends paying for their supplies. Then they headed to the
lunch counter, too. I stopped for a moment and watched them get seated.
I decided to sit at the other end.

14 "What would you like?" the waiter asked.

15 "I'd like a hot chocolate, please. But I can wait. They were
here first," I answered, pointing at the black man and his friends.

16 "Don't worry about them," the waiter answered. "They'll be
waiting a long time."

17 "Why?" I asked.

18 "Kid, just don't worry about it. Do you want the hot chocolate
or not?"

19 "Okay," I answered, and looked apologetically to the black man.
He just smiled at me.

20 As I enjoyed my hot chocolate, I watched a number of other
people come to the counter and get served. The waiter kept ignoring the
black men. Then I realized something. These customers were all white.
The waiter was prejudiced! I had heard things here and there about the
civil rights movement, but I never knew what it was about. Now I
realized these black men were trying to be served lunch and were being
ignored!

21 It took all the nerve I had, but I called the waiter over again.

22 "Would you like some more?" he asked.

23 "Yes, a refill please."

24 "Coming right up." The waiter soon brought a new mug with fresh
hot cocoa.

25 He had started to turn away when I took a deep breath and asked,
"Why haven't you served those folks?"

26 He grimaced at me. "Kid, I told you not to worry about it. We
don't serve those kinds at the lunch counter."

27 "But you'll take their money for supplies?"

28 "That's different," he answered.

29 "No, sir, I don't think so. It's not different. It's
discrimination."

30 The waiter and several customers, including the black men,
looked at me in shock. I went on.

31 "I suppose you think that's an awfully big word for a twelve
year old. Well, guess what. I know exactly what it means, and I think
it stinks. In fact, I plan to boycott this store until you can
understand what it means to treat people with justice."

32 And with that, I walked over to the black man, gave him my hot
chocolate and said, "Thanks for your help. God bless you."

33 I stormed out of the store with my head held high. I could tell
everyone was staring at me. I didn't care. I hoped those guys stayed in
their seats until the store closed if that's what it took.

34 I got home and didn't talk about the incident. Later, at dinner,
my dad said, "Hear what happened at Woolworth's today?"

35 "What?" I answered, stammering a little.

36 "Some black men wanted to eat lunch at the counter. They sat for
several hours in quiet protest waiting to be served. I think they
stayed until the stored closed." He chuckled. "They should've realized
they wouldn't get lunch there! Hon, please pass the potatoes."

37 I smiled and thought to myself, "It has to start somewhere. Way
to go, guys."
