The United States v. Lopez case was the first United States Supreme Court case since the early 1930’s to create laws that limit Congress’s power. On March 10th of 1992, Lopez brought a handgun into school. When the police asked him if he did bring it , he didn't lie, he said the " yes I did carry the gun".Not a few days later Lopez was charged with violating federal laws which banned guns on all school properties in the United States. Because of what he did , the federal law came with an act called "Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1990".…

The Supreme Court made a number of decisions regarding education in this time period, for example, in source C, The Supreme Court made a decision in 1950 in regards to McLaurin vs Oklahoma State Regents, when a negro student was denied permission for certain areas in a school, confined to their own tables and sections in the library and cafeteria. This shows that the Supreme Court could effectively interpret the constitution and federal laws. This decision is much like Sweatt vs Painter, Texas, where a similar situation had occurred, except a Negro student was not permitted admittance, let alone segregation inside the building. Also, in Cooper vs Aaron, the Supreme Court stated that states were bound by the court’s decisions, and could not ignore them. Arkansas then amended the state constitution to oppose desegregation, and then relieved children from “Mandatory attendance in segregated schools. This shows that the Supreme Court was still applying law and constitution in the aid of the advancement of African Americans. In Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka, 1954, it came that Chief Just Warren said, “We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of “separate but equal” has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal…. Segregation in public education is a denial of the equal protection of the laws.” This gives African Americans a platform to advance from, reaffirming “separate but equal” in their favour. The Supreme Court had overturned separate but equal, showing that they are perhaps, despite their best means to remain impartial, beginning to show signs of a will for desegregation and quality between races.…
The next big step in the civil rights movement came in 1954, with the BROWN vs. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF TOPEKA case, where Thurgood Marshall, representing Brown, argued that segregation was against the 4th Amendment of the American constitution. The Supreme Court ruled, against President Eisenhower’s wishes, in favour of Brown, which set a precedent in education, that schools should no longer be segregated. This was the case which completely overturned the Jim Crow Laws by overturning Plessy vs. Ferguson.…
After the Plessy v. Ferguson case in 1896, the statement of “separate but equal” was created, preventing African Americans from achieving equality. In 1951 in Topeka, Kansas, a girl named Linda Brown was forbidden from attending Summer Elementary school, which was the school closest to her home, due to the color of her skin and was instead forced to go to a school for African American children much farther away. With the help of the NAACP, the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People, and Thurgood Marshall, her father, Oliver Brown, filed a lawsuit against the Topeka Board of Education. The Court spent four terms making their final decision, which came in 1954, banning segregated schools and getting rid of the whole “separate…
The case Engle v. Vitale was mainly a religious matter. It involved the daily, voluntary prayer recitation in schools. The Engle v. Vitale case tried the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, by violating the "establishment of religion" (Clause of the First Amendment). This case was ruled unconstitutional because it violated the freedom of religion we are gifted through the Constitution. The Engle v. Vitale case should be studied in 2017 by AP GOPO students because if not for this case's outcome, we would not be able to practice the religion we each individually…

Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas was one of the most important decisions made by the US Supreme Court. This ruling on May 17, 1954 overturned Plessy vs. Ferguson. This court case ruled that the segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. Van Woodward writes in this book “The court’s decision of 17 May was the momentous and far reaching for the century in civil rights. It reversed a constitutional trend started long before Plessy vs. Ferguson and it marked the beginning of the end of Jim Crowe” (Van Woodward, 147).…
Loulié, Rosseau, and Hotteterre, wrote treatises that explained the specific symbols they used for their agréments. Acting as a written tutor for amateur musicians, the treatises provided detailed instructions on the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic performance expectations of each agrément. These rules led to confusion and discrepancy over preferred methods versus popular methods in which to execute the ornaments. As a result, modern performers will find it difficult to provide a historically accurate representation of French Baroque works that feature varieties of agréments, as much of the approach toward the realization of these agréments was ruled by the principle of le bon goût.…
In 1955, after the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, the Supreme Court ruled against "separate but equal" principle of Plessy v. Ferguson for public education. The new policy was ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, and required the desegregation of schools across America. The white people hated this new policy of desegregation and fought back through violence, hate crimes, and lynching.…
