Defining Documents in American History: Supreme Court Decisions (1803-2017), offers in-depth analysis of a broad range of the landmark cases argued before the U. S. Supreme that have explored the Constitution and its amendments in cases such as Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona, and Obergfell v. Hodges. These cases have touched on the rights that underpin the nation’s laws: states rights, civil rights, voting rights, and women’s rights, as well as right to privacy, the definition of marriage, the limits on the powers of the executive branch, segregation, affirmative action, and the rights of defendants. This text closely studies sixty court opinions and delivers a thorough examination of the intent and impact of the majority rulings, as well as the significant concurrences and dissents prepared by the Supreme Court justices from Marbury v. Madison in 1803 to Cooper v. Harris in 2017. The material is organized under three historical groupings.
