SynopsisPraise for the previous edition: "Recommended."-Choice "An excellent source for beginning researchers...unbiased...The discussion of the case's significance and its implications will be useful for students..."-School Library Journal Through its interpretations of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the Supreme Court issues decisions that shape American law, define the functioning of government and society, and address the most important issues of the day. No court in the country can overturn Supreme Court rulings. Famous cases like Roe v. Wade , Plessy v. Ferguson , Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sanford , and Miranda v. Arizona are among the most important decisions made by the court, but many others have also had a profound impact on the American way of life. Now available in three volumes, Landmark Supreme Court Cases, Second Edition has been extensively revised and updated to feature more than 600 of the most important and influential cases in American history. Intended for U.S. history and political science students, this encyclopedia contains concise, straightforward summaries, analyzing and explaining groundbreaking court cases on such issues as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, civil rights, labor unions, abortion, antitrust and competition, due process, search and seizure, executive privilege, and more. Organized chronologically by issue, each entry includes the case title and legal citation, year of decision, key issue, historical background, legal arguments, decision (majority and dissenting opinions), aftermath and significance, related cases, and recommended reading. Coverage includes: Baker v. Carr Bush v. Gore The Cherokee Nation v. Georgia Dred Scott v. Sandford Gideon v. Wainwright Korematsu v. United States Marbury v. Madison Plessy v. Ferguson Roe v. Wade Rumsfeld v. Padilla.
