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.

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.

District of Columbia v. Heller
|
District of Columbia v. Heller was the first time in several decades that the Supreme Court interpreted the words of the Second Amendment. The case involved a ban on handguns in the home. It also involved two aspects of an ongoing debate: first, the debate over gun violence and its causes; and second, the debate over “originalism” and whether the Court can sensibly interpret the Constitution with the meaning its words would have had when its provisions were adopted.
