Supreme Court Cases
Of all the US Supreme Court cases that you have learned about in this class, which one did you find most interesting and why?
Of all the Supreme Court Cases, I found that the case of Marbury V Madison was the most interesting, as it was a case where the US Supreme gave themselves the very powerful power of Judicial Review.
In all the US Supreme course case, I'm most interested in Korematsu v. the United States. It's a supreme course happened in 1944, about the upheld internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. I'm interested in how Korematsu was obeying forced relocation during World War II.
I believe that the Plessy v. Ferguson case was the most interesting case because we acted out the scene and their was a lot of controversy over the final decision. The class debate enhanced the lesson as well.
I think the supreme court case of Roe vs Wade was the most interesting because I did not know the issue of abortion had been so relevant in the time period the case had occurred. If the case had gone the other way and women were not given the right to an abortion, the country would be very different and the issue would be even larger.
I found Korematsu v. United States to be the most interesting supreme court case. Fred Korematsu was a Japanese-American citizen who tried to resist being relocated to an internment camp. The case essentially ruled that the military could carry out unconstitutional orders during wartime. This case was the most intriguing because it said that the military was allowed to put thousands of completely innocent Japanese-American citizens in what was basically jail.
