Detailed explanation-1: -Nine Justices make up the current Supreme Court: one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. The Honorable John G. Roberts, Jr ., is the 17th Chief Justice of the United States, and there have been 104 Associate Justices in the Court’s history.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are currently nine justices on the Supreme Court, though that number is not set in the Constitution and has changed throughout history. There are eight associate justices, and one chief justice. Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. They serve a life term.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Constitution does not stipulate the number of Supreme Court Justices; the number is set instead by Congress. There have been as few as six, but since 1869 there have been nine Justices, including one Chief Justice.
Detailed explanation-4: -How did the U.S. decide that nine was the magic number of justices to sit on its most-powerful judicial bench? Basically, the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to determine how many justices sit on SCOTUS. This number has ranged between 5 and 10, but since 1869 the number has been set at 9.
