Description
below is what needs to be done. If you have access to Mckeever & Davies 2012 Politics USA 3rd edition its on chapters 16 and 17. The discussions should make sense and be prepared for follow on questions from my professor. assess the significance of the Supreme Court for U.S. politics. You should discuss only one category of Supreme Court cases per post, e.g. the free speech guarantee of the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, or cases that have checked executive privilege (this list is obviously illustrative). Use academic and media commentary in relation to the category that you have selected. Please do not repeat information offered in other posts. The list of resources below is not compiled in APA format. You are reminded that when you cite resources on the discussion board and in assignments you should do so in APA format.
