Supreme Court Cases
Historical Significance
Marbury v. Madison
This was the first Supreme Court case to apply the principle of Judicial Review. Judicial Review is the power of federal courts to void laws which are in violation of the constitution.
McCulloh v. Maryland
Congress had implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause (Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution) to create the second bank of the United States. The state of Maryland lacked the power to tax the Bank because the Federal Government is the supreme law of the Land.
Gibbons v. Ogden
Steamship operators were fighting over shipping rights between New York and New Jersey. Only the federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce.
Worcester v Georgia
Georgia's citizens were illegally moving on Cherokee land in an attempt to find gold. Worchester took the Cherokee problems to the Supreme Court. They ruled, "The Cherokee nation, then, is a distinct community occupying its own territory in which the laws of Georgia can have no force”.
Dred Scott v. Sandford
Dred Scott resided in both slave and free states. Scott argued because he lived in a free state he was a Freedman. The court found that no black, free or slave, could claim U.S. citizenship, and therefore blacks were unable to petition the court for their freedom.
