Choice of terms. The existence of amendments shows that the Constitution

vote of a panel of nine wise men.

Under what authority was the Supreme Court created? Or perhaps phrased
differently, from whence does the authority of said court come?

Ummm... it's a constitutional authority.

I'm no US Constitutional Scholar, but that is what I thought.

Now, I presume that the Constitution not only in effect creates the
Supreme Court, but also sets forth the role and responsibilities of this
august body? Possibly the manner in which it carries out these duties?

If this is the case, could one you nice Americans perhaps succinctly and
clearly answer these questions?
