Norma McCorvey (known as "Jane Roe") was pregnant during the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case about abortion rights. She had claimed to be raped to qualify for an abortion, though this was later found to be false. Henry Wade, a Texas lawyer, argued against abortion rights before the Supreme Court. The Court decided in 1973 that illegal abortion violated a woman's right to privacy under the 14th Amendment and was a fundamental right. This legalized abortion nationwide.

Roe v wade
Jane Roe, an unmarried pregnant woman, challenged a Texas law banning abortion in 1973, arguing for a woman's right to privacy and abortion access. The Supreme Court found no constitutional protection for the unborn and that states lacked compelling reasons to restrict abortion, legalizing it but intensifying debate between pro-life and pro-choice groups over this landmark for women's rights and judicial history.

Thomas jefferson
Thomas Jefferson defeats John Adams in the 1800 presidential election, but ties with Aaron Burr which leads to the House of Representatives choosing Jefferson as president, revealing a flaw in the electoral process. As president, Jefferson simplifies the presidency by reducing the military and taxes while expanding U.S. territory through the Louisiana Purchase which doubles the size of the country. Jefferson also establishes judicial review and the Supreme Court's ability to declare laws unconstitutional through the Marbury v. Madison case.
Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement prior to 1954 saw some progress such as the abolition of slavery after the Civil War and the founding of organizations like the NAACP in 1909. However, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision legalized racial segregation. Through the 1950s, the NAACP challenged segregation in the courts in cases like Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. However, implementation of desegregation met strong resistance in some southern states, as seen in events like the Little Rock Nine crisis. Non-violent protests grew the movement throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, culminating in the March on Washington and passage of the Civil

Marbury V. Madison Powerpoint
Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review in the United States. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and that the Supreme Court has the power to strike down laws that are incompatible with the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's role in determining the constitutionality of laws and enhanced the judiciary's independence from the other branches of government.

It arose from William Marbury suing Secretary of State James Madison to deliver his commission as a justice of the peace appointed by outgoing President John Adams. While Chief Justice John Marshall ruled Marbury had a right to the commission, the court lacked authority under the Judiciary Act to force Madison. However, Marshall established the court could declare legislative acts unconstitutional, asserting its authority over the other branches.

Key Events of the Civil War
6 important events of the Civil War. Many would argue that there are many more important events or there are others that may be more important - and could not disagree - but these events get to t he heart of what we need to know for the EOC.
President Jimmy Carter
President Carter faced many domestic and foreign policy challenges during his presidency from 1977-1981. Domestically, he tried to tackle high inflation and unemployment by developing a national energy policy focused on conservation and alternative energy. However, inflation continued to rise. He had some environmental successes but the Three Mile Island incident increased concerns about nuclear power. In foreign policy, Carter recognized China, pursued arms limitations with the USSR, and brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. However, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Iranian hostage crisis undermined his presidency and contributed to his loss in the 1980 election.
The Articles Of Confederation
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation and the problems that arose under that first form of government for the United States. It describes the limited powers granted to the national government and the states' dominance over certain matters. Key issues that weakened the Articles included the inability to tax, lack of control over economic matters, and foreign relations problems due to the nation's lack of unity. The Northwest Ordinance established a process for admitting new states and was one of the Articles' greatest achievements.
Road to Civil War PowerPoint
The document discusses the growing sectionalism between the northern and southern states in the United States leading up to the Civil War. It describes how the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 intensified tensions over the issue of slavery and whether new states would be slave states or free states. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was the breaking point that led 11 southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. While the northern and southern states had economic and cultural differences, the dividing issue was ultimately slavery and the balance of power in Congress.
The constitutional convention
The Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 to address issues with the Articles of Confederation. Delegates debated plans like the Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan before agreeing to the Great Compromise, which established a bicameral legislature with representation based on population in the House and equal representation of states in the Senate. The Convention also compromised on counting slaves for representation and continuing the international slave trade. The resulting Constitution established a representative democratic republic with separation of powers and checks and balances between the three branches of government. It was ratified by nine states and went into effect in 1788.
Introduction to the Bill of Rights
James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights in 1791, adding 10 amendments to the Constitution that guarantee key freedoms like religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly.

Marbury v madison (1)
1. John Adams appointed William Marbury as a judge just before leaving office, but the appointment documents were not delivered by the new Secretary of State, James Madison, under the new president Thomas Jefferson.
2. Marbury sued Madison to force delivery of the documents, and the case went to the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall.
3. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court established the principle of judicial review by ruling that the law authorizing Marbury's original suit was unconstitutional, since it gave the court power not provided in the Constitution, but in doing so established the court's right to strike down unconstitutional laws.
Monroe presidency
After the War of 1812, Americans began feeling a stronger sense of national unity and identity. The Era of Good Feelings emerged as political divisions lessened. John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay proposed the American System to strengthen the economy through tariffs and infrastructure projects like roads and canals. The Erie Canal's success spurred further canal construction and economic growth. Meanwhile, Latin American countries like Mexico gained independence from Spain, opening new trade opportunities, while the U.S. acquired Florida through treaty and established the Monroe Doctrine barring future European colonization in the Americas.
Urbanization ch. 10.2
During the late 19th century, rapid urbanization in the United States was enabled by new technologies like steel-framed skyscrapers and elevators, as well as mass transit systems. As cities grew, distinct social classes emerged with the wealthy residing downtown and working classes in crowded tenement housing. Political machines run by bosses provided services to new urban immigrants and the working class in exchange for votes, though they were often corrupt.

This document discusses using Voxopop, a free online tool, to appropriately assess English Language Learners. Voxopop allows teachers to post written and oral questions for students to respond to with voice recordings, allowing ELLs to demonstrate comprehension orally before being assessed in writing. The document notes that oral language is acquired before writing for ELLs and outlines common stages of language development. It proposes that Voxopop can provide a simple way for ELLs to be assessed according to their language abilities in a less time-consuming manner than live oral exams.
Korematsu v united_states
During World War 2, the U.S. government forcibly relocated people of Japanese descent to internment camps, violating Fred Korematsu's civil rights. Korematsu challenged this action in Korematsu v. United States, arguing it violated his 14th Amendment protections. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 6-3 in favor of the government, agreeing the need to protect against espionage outweighed the civil rights of Japanese Americans. While some supported the ruling out of wartime fears, others were troubled the government could override constitutional protections.

Mc culloch v
The state of Maryland imposed taxes on the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank of the United States in 1818, which the cashier James W. McCulloch refused to pay. McCulloch took the case to the Supreme Court, arguing that the Maryland tax was unconstitutional because Congress had established the national bank. The Supreme Court ruled 7-0 in favor of McCulloch, finding that Congress had the power to incorporate the bank and that Maryland could not interfere with the national government's powers through taxation. The decision established Congress's supremacy over the states.
marbury v madison
New justice positions were created before President Adams left office. He appointed justices with a federal ideology, but the appointments were never fully approved by Congress. One appointee, William Marbury, sued after being denied his position. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court ruled that while Marbury had a right to his appointment, the court could not force its issuance due to limits on its jurisdiction set by the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.
Gibbons v ogden
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ogden, finding that the Commerce Clause gives the federal government exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce such as navigation between states. The case established that any interstate commerce falls under federal jurisdiction rather than state control, setting an important precedent for federalism.
Swann v
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Schools that the federal government could oversee and enforce desegregation of schools, allowing it to establish quotas and consequences for states that did not desegregate, as the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Schools had failed to desegregate nearly 20 years after the 14th Amendment and Brown v. Board of Ed prohibited segregated schools.
Texas v
Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag as a protest against Reagan administration policies. He argued this was protected under the first amendment. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in 1989 that burning the flag was a form of expression protected by the first amendment and that the government could not criminally punish flag desecration to preserve it as a national symbol. Johnson had originally been sentenced to a year in prison and fined $2,000 for burning the flag.
United states v lopez
The United States v. Lopez case involved a high school student who brought a concealed weapon to school in violation of the Gun Free School Zone Act of 1990. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Congress exceeded its powers under the Commerce Clause to enact the law, as possession of a firearm near a school did not qualify as interstate economic activity. This case established limits on Congress's ability to regulate non-economic intrastate activities under the Commerce Clause.
Schench v US
Schenck mailed circulars urging draftees to oppose the draft, claiming it was a monstrosity. He was charged with conspiracy to cause insubordination. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against Schenck, finding that speech considered free during peacetime can be interpreted differently during war when it could incite violence and harm, as Congress has the power to prevent. The ruling meant Americans could not speak out against the draft in such a manner during wartime.
Korematsu v united_states
During World War 2, the U.S. government forcibly relocated people of Japanese descent to internment camps, violating Fred Korematsu's civil rights. Korematsu challenged this action in Korematsu v. United States, arguing the internment violated his 14th Amendment rights. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the government, agreeing the need to protect against espionage outweighed the civil rights of Japanese Americans. While some supported the ruling out of wartime fears, others were appalled that the government overruled a constitutional amendment.
Holes and Goals
This document outlines resources and lesson plans for teaching economics to social studies students. It includes a proposed low-income monthly budget, a webquest on the causes of the 2008 economic crash, and a timeline linking economics and history. The overall goal is to help students see how the economy impacts their lives by teaching economic concepts in a historical and social context.
Carp Presentation
The document discusses a research study conducted by teachers at Great Mills High School to determine if teaching students how to identify arguments in texts would improve students' argument analysis skills and comfort level. The study was interrupted by a school lockdown and its results were inconclusive. The teachers observed student frustration with the tasks and saw little improvement in pre- and post-test scores. Due to events outside their control, the teachers were unable to determine if students could better dissect arguments after the intervention. They acknowledge more time is needed to properly study the impact of argument identification instruction.
