Revision as of 14:52, July 24, 2007
Just some suggesttions for cases you might want to consider adding to your list:
United States v Callender-upheld the Sedition Act, which made criticizing the gov't a crime
The "Civil Rights" cases (US v Stanley, US v Ryan, etc)-Congress has no power to prohibit private discrimination, the 14th amendment doesn't apply to the federal government
The "Slaughterhouse" cases-The 14th Amendment doesn't apply to state governments
Lochner v New York-the birth of the Substantive Due Process theory, beginning of modern "judicial activism"
Korematsu v US-In time of war, US citizens may be detained without trial merely because of their ancestry --Steve 10:34, 24 July 2007 (EDT)
- Good suggestions. I'll add the Callender case immediately, and welcome comments on the others.--Aschlafly 10:52, 24 July 2007 (EDT)
