Johnson had originally been sentenced to a year in prison and fined $2,000 for burning the flag.

Midnight Judge Judicial Review & Intro To Jefferson Era
The document summarizes the key events and outcomes of the Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court case in 1803. It established the principle of judicial review, allowing the Supreme Court to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. The case arose after John Adams appointed William Marbury to be a judge on his last day in office. Jefferson ordered Marbury's commission not be delivered, so Marbury sued. Chief Justice John Marshall ruled the Supreme Court did not have the power to force Madison to deliver the commission, but established that the Court can review laws and strike them down if unconstitutional. This gave the Supreme Court an important new power and upset Jefferson.

The Supreme Court heard four cases in 1961 challenging state rules protecting the Christian Sabbath day. In all four cases, the Court found no violation of the First Amendment. However, these rulings were criticized for failing to acknowledge the Christian origins of Sunday laws or accommodate the religious freedom claims of Jewish merchants.
In 1983, the Court upheld the constitutionality of legislative chaplains in Marsh v. Chambers, ignoring its previous Lemon test. The Court appealed to the unique history of chaplains in the U.S. Subsequent rulings on religious symbols also used or ignored the Lemon test depending on the specific facts and history of the symbol.

Korematsu v united_states

United States, arguing it violated his 14th Amendment protections.

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.
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.
Roe v. Wade
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.
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.

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.

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.
