Answer:
Original jurisdiction refers to the court that first hears a case. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving foreign public ministers or ambassadors.
Most of the time, the Supreme Court only hears cases that have already had some decision made in a lower court. For this reason, the Supreme Court is mainly an appellate court. But in section 2 of Article III of the Constitution, it states that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving foreign public ministers, consuls, or ambassadors, as well as in cases involving two different states.
