The case that would fall under the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is **disputes between two or more states**.
Original jurisdiction refers to the power of the Supreme Court to hear a case for the first time, as opposed to appellate jurisdiction, where the Court reviews cases that have already been decided by lower courts. According to Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving ambassadors, public ministers and consuls, and disputes between states. The other options listed (violations of the U.S. Constitution, appeals from lower federal courts, and cases involving federal laws) would fall under the Court's appellate jurisdiction.
