The case that falls under the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is:
**Disputes between two or more states**
Original jurisdiction refers to the Supreme Court's authority to hear a case for the first time, rather than on appeal. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party. Disputes between states are also typically within the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
The other options typically fall under the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
