Supreme Court Cases Review

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka

What is a major result of the Supreme Court decisions in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) and Gibbons v. Ogden (1824)?

The powers of the federal government were expanded.

In Korematsu v. United States (1944), the Supreme Court upheld the military order excluding Japanese Americans from the West Coast on the basis that the action was considered

a matter of national security

The decision in Marbury v. Madison (1803) was significant because it established that the Supreme Court

could declare a federal law unconstitutional

The importance of the Supreme Court's ruling in Marbury v. Madison (1803) is that the Court

established the power of judicial review of federal laws

The Supreme Court decision in Marbury v. Madison (1803) increased the power of the federal courts by

establishing the principle of judicial review

The Supreme Court in Korematsu v. United States (1944) upheld Executive Order 9066, which had authorized the

exclusion of Japanese Americans from the West Coast

The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Nixon (1974) stated that

executive privilege did not allow the president to withhold recording that were related to the Watergate affair

Mapp v. Ohio (1961) Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) Miranda v. Arizona (1966) These three Supreme Court decisions are similar in that each ruling

expanded the rights of the accused

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), United States v. E. C. Knight Co. (1895), and Schechter Poultry Corporation v. United States (1935) are all Supreme Court cases dealing with

federal authority to regulate interstate commerce

The Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison (1803) strengthened the power of the judicial branch by

granting federal courts the power to declare laws unconstitutional

The decisions of the Supreme Court in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) and Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) are important because they

increased the power of the federal government over the states

In Marbury v. Madison (1803), the Supreme Court establishes a precedent for

judicial review

One criticism of the Warren Court's decision in Mapp v. Ohio (1961), Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), Miranda v. Arizona (1966) is that Supreme Court

limited police powers while expanding the rights of criminal defendants

The "clear and present danger" principle stated by the Supreme Court in Schenck v. United States (1919) had the effect of

limiting freedom of speech during wartime

Which group benefited the most directly from the Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857)

slave owners

In New Jersey v. T.L.O. (1985) and Vernonia School District v. Actin (1995), the United States Supreme Court ruled that
