Document:
The Supreme Court of the United States of America is the highest court system in the nation. The Supreme Court, as a result of this classification and function, possesses ultimate, however largely discretionary, appellate jurisdiction over all State and Federal court systems, as well as original jurisdiction over local courts, in the United States.
The Supreme Court of the United States meets in Washington, D.C. in the United States Supreme Court Building. The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and eight acting Associate Justices who are nominated by the President of the United States of America and subsequently confirmed by the U.S. Senate. When a Chief Justice is appointed, he or she maintains life tenure unless they are removed after impeachment.
What are Supreme Court Judgments?
Supreme Court judgments are regarded as the most influential and all-encompassing verdicts or rulings in the nation. The vast majority of Supreme Court judgments either ratifies a Constitutional provision or at least evaluates the intricacies revolving around a particular case in alignment with the United States Constitution or State Constitutions. In addition, all Supreme Court judgments are forms of appeals. All cases heard before a Supreme Court are previously-rendered decisions of a lower court system in the United States.
What is the Supreme Court Cases List?
The Supreme Court Cases List refers to the tangible archives, which store and house all Supreme Court judgments. In addition to the Supreme Court judgments or precedents established through the Supreme Court judgments, the Case List will outline the main points of the legal matter, as well as the intricacies aligned with the case. The Supreme Court Case List will also include all testimonials, significant entries of evidence, as well as crucial dialogue that was latent in the particular Supreme Court judgments.
Marbury v. Madison (1803): This particular Supreme Court judgment is regarded as the keystone power of Judicial Review.
Through this Supreme Court judgment, Judicial Review (the premise that a court system may oversee and nullify actions of another branch of Government) was affirmed and formally established in this case. Marbury v. Madison is viewed as a historical and fundamental court decision that effectively altered the way a judicial body reviewed a case in alignment with a country’s Constitution. This landmark Supreme Court case was the first in the history of any judicial system to deem a ruling unconstitutional.
Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857): This Supreme Court judgment classified slaves as personal property. Although this ruling would be modified with subsequent legislation, this particular landmark Supreme Court case essentially fueled the flames that led to the Civil War.
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954): A landmark Supreme Court judgment that acted as a groundbreaking step towards civil rights and the delivery of equal rights for all citizens of the United States. Brown v. Board of Education effectively ended the segregation of public schools throughout the United States of America.
NAACP v. Alabama (1958): A landmark Supreme Court judgment which protected the freedom of association. This ruling enabled citizens of the United States to assemble in groups for a common political or human rights-based objective.
Wesberry v. Sanders (1964): The landmark Supreme Court judgment declared each person’s vote to carry an equal measure.
Roe v. Wade (1973): A highly controversial Supreme Court judgment, which rules that states can and cannot control legality issues in regards to abortions.
