The supreme court so the Judicial Branch... I think.
The Excutive branch- the president. The legislative branch- congress. The judicial branch- Supreme court. All three belong to a system of checks and balances. They check on each other and balance each other out by limmiting the others powers.
In the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court would determine if the laws made by Congress were constitutional or lawful.

Congress created the federal court system in the Judiciary Act of 1789, under the authority of Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution.
The legislative branch is referred to as Congress in the United States. In other countries, the legislative branch may be called other things, such as Parliament, the Diet, National Assembly, and others.
The US Supreme Court is a constitutional court, vested under Article III of the Constitution with the highest judicial authority in the United States. They are the ultimate arbiters of the Constitution, and the head of the Judicial branch of government.The Founding Fathers intended to create a three-part government, with each branch both independent of the others (separate powers) and held in check by the others (checks and balances). Congress already has checks on the power of the Supreme Court, but making the Court answerable to Congress would result in the Legislative branch having too much power and the Judicial branch losing its right of judicial review, its primary check on both the Legislative and Executive branches.So, no, the US Supreme Court should not be answerable to another constitutional court or be evaluated by Congress. The current system may not be perfect, but it is preferable to the suggested alternative.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

It is to make sure that no part of the government gets too powerful. (legislative, executive, judicial) Each branch can limit the others.
The system of Checks and Balances comes about from the idea of not allowing one power to become more powerful than other powers. For example, the U.S. Constitution implemented a system of checks and balances by establishing three branches of the government, each answerable to the others in their own way. The Executive Branch controls much of the government's operation, Congress passes laws, and the Judicial Branch rules based upon the law. But the Executive Branch passes a budget to Congress to approve for its operations, which they are not obligated to pass as-is; while Congress creates and passes laws, the Judicial Branch (the Supreme Court) can rule whether the law passed is constitutional or not or define what scope the law pertains. If Congress doesn't like the way the Supreme Court ruled on a law, they can change the law, which brings it back under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court if it is challenged. Likewise, the Executive Branch has the ability to veto a bill that Congress has passed to become law. And the Supreme Court constantly rules in cases that have been brought against Departments within the Executive Branch. Like I said, the idea is that no one branch of the government can become despotic because the other ones are able to limit its power before that point.
