Chief Justice John Marshall strengthened the US Supreme Court when he formally declared the courts had the power of judicial review, in Marbury v. Madison, (1803).Judicial review is the authority of the court to review laws, policies, executive orders or treaties that are relevant to a case before the court and determine their constitutionality. Anything the Court declares unconstitutional is nullified and rendered unenforceable.
This was the Supreme Court of 1938. They basically decided that it would be the President who would determine the number of lower courts in the system. It made it much easier for future Presidents to designate Supreme Court members.

In a case before the Supreme Court, the law itself is on trial and the justices determine whether the law is guilty of violating the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.
Do you want that answered by the way things are today or by the way the Foundersenvisioned? First, I'm not sure its the Supreme Court's job to "influence social policies". The duty of the Supreme Court is tointerruptlaw as declared by the U.S. Constitution.The strengths are the justice do not serve terms therefore they are not restricted by the ballot box and can vote as they see the law. The rulings of the Supreme Court are beyond appeal.The weakness is the Supreme Court depends on the President to enforce its rulings and Congress to ensure the president does it.
The duty of the Supreme Court is to interpret and apply laws. They review cases and determine whether laws or actions are constitutional or not. When there are disputes or conflicts involving the interpretation or application of laws, the Supreme Court has the final authority to decide on them.
