I'll be glad to check your answer.
a place where decision from state court can be appealed
Right.
To answer this question, we need to understand what each option means and then identify the option that accurately describes a district court.
1. A court that determines the validity of a law: This describes a court with the power of judicial review, which is typically a higher court, such as a Supreme Court. District courts generally do not have the power to determine the validity of a law.
2. A place where decisions from state courts can be appealed: This describes an appellate court. While district courts can sometimes hear appeals, their primary function is not to hear cases on appeal from state courts.
3. A court to settle disputes between Congress and the President: This describes a constitutional court, such as the US Supreme Court. District courts do not handle cases involving disputes between Congress and the President.
4. A court of original jurisdiction: This option accurately describes a district court. District courts are trial courts with original jurisdiction, meaning they are the first courts to hear and decide cases.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: "a court of original jurisdiction."
