Why are there 9 instead of 8 justices?

Anonymous

Updated: 4/28/2022

Originally the top court in England had 9 justices. When the United States created its own Supreme Court, it used that number. England still is supposed to have 9 instead of 8. It only has 8 at present because it can not figure out how to appoint a chief Justice.
