What will be an ideal response?

There are four types of U.S. Supreme Court opinions: majority, plurality, concurring, and dissenting. A majority opinion is a written opinion of the majority of the Court's justices stating the reasoning underlying its decision on a case. A plurality opinion is a written opinion that, in the absence of a majority opinion, presents the reasoning of most of the justices who decide in favor of the winning party. A concurring opinion is a written opinion of one or more justices who voted with the majority position but disagree with the majority's reasoning on a case. A dissenting opinion is a written opinion of one or more of the justices who disagree with the majority's decision and opinion.
