answer : The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution can have a significant effect on the civil rights of minority groups.

why: When a case is argued before the Supreme Court, its interpretation of the Constitution can have a significant effect on the civil rights of minority groups. Depending on the ideological composition of the Court and the interactions between citizens and states, the Supreme Court sometimes interprets the Constitution in ways that restrict minority rights, while at other times protecting minority rights.
