Landmark Supreme Court Decisions (PM)

Few institutions have had as profound an impact on American life as the United States Supreme Court. In a single decision, nine justices can redefine the powers of government, expand—or restrict—individual rights, and change the course of American history.

In this fascinating new presentation, historian Barry Bradford examines some of the Supreme Court’s most important and controversial decisions, from Marbury v. Madison, which established the Court’s power of judicial review, to Bush v. Gore, which effectively decided a presidential election.

Along the way, we’ll examine Plessy v. Ferguson and the constitutional sanctioning of segregation; Mapp v. Ohio and the rights of the accused; Engel v. Vitale and prayer in public schools; Roe v. Wade and the long-running battle over abortion rights; and other landmark cases that transformed American law and society.

For each case, we’ll go beyond the legal ruling to explore the fascinating human stories behind it. What was happening in America at the time? Why did the case reach the Supreme Court? What made the decision controversial? And how did the ruling change the country?

Whether you agree or disagree with the decisions, these remarkable cases demonstrate the extraordinary power of the Supreme Court—and how its interpretation of the Constitution has helped shape the America we live in today.
