It is hard to imagine the history of the United States without a Supreme Court. Yet, without the most critical case in the Court's history, Marbury v Madison, the Court might well lack the power we take for granted today. Here we will explore the specifics of each case and the short and long-term impacts of each, and how each shaped American society. Through this examination of these landmark cases, students will gain knowledge of each case and how each changed society. By examining each...
Students will broaden their knowledge of the Court's history and sharpen critical thinking skills.
I have more than twenty years of experience as a history teacher. Specifically, I taught United States history and American Government. I gave extensive attention to covering the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Supreme Court history in those classes. Numerous landmark cases were covered in great detail. I also taught a class titled Law and Order, in which students took part in mock trials. Several cases covered in this class will examine racial discrimination (Plessy v Ferguson). These were and are significant milestones in America's progress towards equality for all. Cases such as Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges will NOT be covered as I view them as inappropriate for this course's age range.
Homework Offered
There will not be assignments or assessments, but I encourage each student to participate in the class discussion and to share how each case has impacted their lives.Assessments Offered
