Answer:

The correct answer is 1. When the U.S. Supreme Court decides a case, the Chief Justice writes the majority opinion if he or she was in the majority.

Explanation:

The decisions of the Supreme Court constitute a binding precedent that obliges all other courts to respect them. In addition, its rulings have the ability to repeal laws.

The justices hear the arguments of the different cases and then meet to discuss it among themselves. Each justice of the Court has one vote in each case. When there are at least five justices in favor of a decision, that becomes the opinion of the Court that represents the final precedent. The justice with the highest seniority among the five voters has the privilege of choosing which of them will write the opinion of the Court. If the Chief Justice is among the majority, the privilege passes to him.

Every justice has the right to write an explanation of their vote. If his vote is among the majority, the justice writes a concurring opinion. If the justice voted against the majority, then he writes a dissenting opinion.
