The Supreme Court plays a crucial role in defining constitutional principles by interpreting the Constitution and deciding cases with far-reaching constitutional implications. This means that the Court’s decisions have the power to set precedents that guide future interpretation of the Constitution, and to establish legal rules and principles that determine the scope of individual rights and freedoms. Additionally, the Court has the authority to strike down laws or actions that it deems unconstitutional, thereby protecting the constitutional principles upon which our democracy is built.
