MADISON (1803)\nQ: Can the Supreme Court strike down a law that conflicts with the Constitution?\nRuling: Yes. Part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional.\nMatters: Created judicial review.\n(backstory: midnight judges, Adams, Jefferson - she said we don't need the backstory)\n\nMcCULLOCH v. MARYLAND (1819)\nQ: Can Congress create a national bank, and can a state tax it?\nRuling: Congress can (necessary and proper clause), and states can't tax it.\nMatters: Strengthened federal power over the states.\n\nTINKER v. DES MOINES (1965)\n** Ms. D correction: it's 1969, not 1965. 1965 is when the students wore the armbands. **\nQ: Can a public school punish students for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War?\nRuling: No. Students don't lose free speech rights at the schoolhouse gate, unless the speech substantially disrupts school.\nMatters: Protects student symbolic speech.\n\nOn the test: she gives a scenario and we name the case + explain the principle.\nNext set (not this test): Engel, Schenck, Gideon.\n\nFlashcard app crashed again, ugh.
