There are a number of Supreme Court cases that have had a significant impact on the law. Here are five of the most important:
Marbury v. Madison (1803): This case established the principle of judicial review, which is the power of the courts to strike down laws that they deem to be unconstitutional.
Brown v. Board of Education (1954): This case outlawed racial segregation in public schools and helped to pave the way for the Civil Rights movement.
Roe v. Wade (1973): This case legalized abortion nationwide and has been a controversial topic ever since.
Bush v. Gore (2000): This case decided the outcome of the 2000 presidential election, and established precedent for future election disputes.
Obergefell v. Hodges (2015): This case legalized same-sex marriage nationwide and extended civil rights protections to LGBTQ+ Americans
