U.S. Supreme Court Cases
The purpose of the Judicial Branch, or the Supreme Court, is for them to apply and interpret the Constitution and to determine if a policy is constitutional. In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the outcome created a policy of not taxing States. In Marbury v. Madison (1803), the outcome of it was the judicial review. In Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka (1954), the outcome was the termination of "seperate, but equal" policy. With these important Supreme Court cases, we all learn how the duty of the Supreme Court applies and interprets the Constitution to rule if a policy or an action is constitutional or not.
In the case of McCulloch v. Maryland, McCulloch sued the National bank for being unconstitutional. When the case was heard, it went up to the Supreme Court for it to decide its ruling. The Constitution was created to establish a strong stable nation and able to create policies to adjust itself to society. The State banks werent strong enough as the National bank, so the State banks started taxing the National bank. In the end, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to tax states or the federal government because it brought tyranny and corruption.
In another important case, Marbury v. Madison (1803), Supreme judges from the same political party were hired so they would reject any propositions brought from the other party. When the judges denied any policies proposed by the other party, they would reject it with no reason to support it. The Supreme Court ruled that it was necessary for a ruling to have a reason, so the outcome of it was the establishment of the judicial review.
In the last important case, Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka (1954), it challenged the policy of segregation of "seperate, but equal." Brown sued for the injustice of the school because a school did not let her child attend it for her race instead had to walk ten blocks for a nearby all-black school. It argued that the policy "seperate, but equal" had a huge impact of social life and communication. The Supreme Court ruled that it was injustification of the policy of "seperate, but equal" and its other importance is its overturned of the case of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
The role of the Supreme Court grants them the power to apply and interpret the Constitution and its policies for change for the better. Because of their important role, the outcomes of the rulings affects us in the present. A judicial review was established because of one case and also it showed the power to change and overturned previous cases like the case of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). Without a Judicial Branch, corruption and tyranny can rule, but with it, they have the power to apply and interpret the Constitution making them the guardians of the Constitution. Their importance make changes to our lives and they are based under the Constitution of the United States of America.
