Answer:

In terms of jurisdiction, the Supreme Court has original and appellate jurisdiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US Supreme Court has both original and appellate jurisdiction. According to Article III, Section 2 of the US Constitution, It has original jurisdiction (the authority to hear a case for the first time) in “all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party.” Furthermore, it also has appellate jurisdiction (that is, the power to hear appeals from lower courts for review, amend and overrule decisions) over the decisions of the circuit courts, which includes cases in which the US is a party, and involving treaties and federal laws.
