Answer:

The role of the Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution is to declare a law or Amendment constitutional or unconstitutional.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is ever a national court case, it will eventually have traveled all the way up to the Supreme Court. For example, in the revolutionary case Brown v. the Board of Education, lawyer Daisy Brown was suing for the right to integrate the schools. Her argument that "Separate but Equal" was not, in fact, equal. In truth, she was right, separate was anything but equal. The Supreme Court ruled that is was unconstitutional (not right) to separate children based on their skin color or ethnicity.
