It is, in effect, the ultimate lesson in civics.

Plessy v. Ferguson/ Brown v. Board of Education primary source analysis activity
“Great!”
In the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson the Supreme Court ruled that segregation of races in public life was perfectly legal under the doctrine of “separate but equal.” This ruling legitimized Jim Crow laws and second-class citizenship for generations of African-Americans. Finally, in 1954, the Supreme Court reversed itself in the case of Brown v. Board of Education and banned the “separate but equal” doctrine, finally paving the way for true equal rights for African-Americans, nearly 1

Primary Source Analysis Activity - Marbury v. Madison and Federalist #78
Everybody “knows” that the Courts have the power to declare any law passed by Congress “unconstitutional,” but where did that power come from? The Constitution itself is silent on the matter, and several founding fathers, including Jefferson, argued that this power resided in the Legislative Branch, rather than the Judiciary. That question remained unanswered for the first 15 years of the new Republic until Justice John Marshall’s opinion in the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison, which established
