Answer:Typically the Court hears cases that have been decided in either an appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals or the highest Court in a given state if the state court decided a Constitutional issue. The Supreme Court has its own set of rules. According to these rules, four of the nine Justices must vote to accept a case.
