In a surprising move, the US Supreme Court has reignited a long-standing debate over a fundamental concept of American justice.

The results of this unprecedented inquiry are set to shed light on a critical issue that has been at the heart of American jurisprudence for centuries. Will the findings reveal a nation of experts or a populace in the dark?
The Supreme Court says everyone knows this. We decided to ask people.
