| | Usually, the state supreme court has the final word in a case. | | | The first state was Delaware, which joined on December 12, 1781, and the last was Hawaii, which became a state on August 21, 1959. | | | However, if in the appeals process, a U.S. Constitutional or federal law question arises, the United States Supreme Court may be asked to review the case. |

| | Abolish State Governments! |
| | The State Premiers - to a man (and they were all men until then) - and the then Federal Opposition - were unimpressed and downright hostile to the Prime Minister's proposals. | | | On the contrary, the Abolish State Governments push in this country is manifestly about practical decentralisation and sustainable co-operative regionalism. | | | And, co-incidentally, constitutional law instructors and lecturers have allowed Section #101 of The Australian Constitution to remain disguised. |
