Instances of states ignoring Supreme Court decisions are relatively rare. While there have been a few notable cases throughout history, such as the resistance to desegregation rulings in the 1950s and 1960s, the majority of states typically comply with and uphold the decisions of the Supreme Court.

What can Congress do to further enforce a decision made by the US Supreme Court?

Congress can attempt to rewrite the law so that it conforms with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution; or, they can abandon an ill-conceived law; or, they can attempt to call a Constitutional Convention or work with the states to amend the Constitution (the least likely and most time-consuming solution). Congress cannot nullify the Supreme Court decision, however. In most cases, they either rewrite or abandon the legislation. Congress also sometimes ignores Supreme Court decisions, although they are not supposed to.


What is a country that is a command economy?

China is an ideal example of command economy. The Communist Party at the helm dictates all policy decisions which are supreme and should be abided by everybody without questioning. While there are advantages like quick decisions in command economy, common people are forced to abide by the decisions inspite of objections at heart. In a democratic set up like India, while all decisions are approved by parliament and people can voice their grievances in public, inordinate delay and lethargic bureaucratic set up play hindrances in speedier decisions.

Who do you challenge in the Supreme Court to make a law become a law?

There is no way to give a specific answer to your question.Formal, written laws are made by Congress or by state legislatures, and are called enacted laws. The US Supreme Court is not a legislative (law-making) body, but its decisions carry the rule of law. Judicial decisions may become common law, (or case law) which is enforceable, but different from the enacted laws created by the Senate and House of Representatives.Congress and the state legislatures may choose to codify common law, or transform it into enacted law, by passing legislation. The courts do not participate in this type of law-making.It is important to remember not all judicial decisions create common law; most simply interpret or apply existing laws.


Which is not a common factor in making decisions?
