"So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great good fortune." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Although Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn't a chief justice (she was an associate justice), the Supreme Court has seen great minds like hers rule on decisions that either change the country for the better or maintain a terrible status quo.

Whether ruling on states' rights, women's rights, or civil rights, the highest court in the land often decides the course of our nation. But their power doesn't go unchecked; it is kept in check by the two other equal branches of government.

Do you know who in U.S. history has held this seat of power? Name all the Supreme Court Chief Justices with our Chief Justices Quiz.
