Question

A. the Court does not believe that the case raises any constitutional issues.
B. the Court does not believe that the case raises any issues of national importance.
C. the Court has chosen to remain silent on any constitutional issues raised by the case.
D. the Court considers the decision made by the lower court to be incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. the Court has chosen to remain silent on any constitutional issues raised by the case.

When the Supreme Court denies a petition for a writ of certiorari, it does not imply that the Court agrees or disagrees with the lower court's decision or that it finds the case to lack importance. It essentially means the Court has opted not to review the case, thereby leaving the lower court's decision in place without offering its own commentary or ruling on the issues presented.
