Compared with the decision in a Supreme Court case, the opinion is more significant because it

a. determines the losing party in a case and the penalty to be imposed on this party.

b. reveals the conflicts between the justices, which the president and Congress can use in determining their position on judicial appointments and new legislation.

c. informs others of the Court’s interpretation of the laws and thereby guides their decisions.

d. addresses the constitutional aspects of a case, whereas the decision addresses the statutory aspects.

IS C MAYBE BEST ANSWER?THANKS AGAIN:))))

I agree.

Yes, option (c) is the most accurate answer. The opinion in a Supreme Court case is more significant because it informs others of the Court's interpretation of the laws and guides their decisions. The opinion includes the reasoning behind the Court's decision and provides an in-depth analysis of the legal issues at hand. It sets a precedent that future courts and lower courts can look to when deciding similar cases. The decision, on the other hand, refers to the specific outcome of the case, determining the winning and losing parties and the immediate impact of the ruling. While the decision is important, it is the opinion that carries the weight of the Court's legal analysis and interpretation.
