Dred Scott v. Sandford
|
Dred Scott, a slave, was purchased in Missouri and then brought to Illinois, a non-slave state. He later moved with his owner to present-day Minnesota, where slavery was prohibited, and then back to Missouri. When his owner died, Scott sued claiming he was no longer enslaved because he had become free after living in a free state. The Supreme Court decided that Scott was not a “citizen of the state” so it had no jurisdiction in the matter. The majority opinion also stated that Scott was not a free man.

Marbury v. Madison
|
Established the doctrine of judicial review, the power of the federal courts to declare legislative and executive acts unconstitutional.
|
In the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress gave the Supreme Court the authority to issue certain judicial writs. The Constitution did not give the Court this power. Because the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, the Court held that any contradictory congressional Act is without force. The ability of federal courts to declare legislative and executive actions unconstitutional is known as judicial review.

Limits of Executive Privilege
|
The special prosecutor in the Watergate affair subpoenaed audio tapes of Oval Office conversations. President Nixon refused to turn over the tapes, asserting executive privilege. The Supreme Court ruled that the defendants' right to potentially exculpating evidence outweighed the President's right to executive privilege if national security was not compromised.
