On Thursday and Friday, we learned about the judicial branch of the U.S. Government. We discussed that the primary purpose of the Supreme Court (the highest court in the judicial branch) was "judicial review." "Judicial review" can be defined as the Supreme Court's power to declare any law passed by Congress or any action by the president as being "unconstitutional." We also performed case studies on a few Supreme Court cases dealing with the First Amendment to the Constitution (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition.) I've attached copies of the case studies as well as an example of a writing prompt used in conjunction with those cases.
