The Supreme Court of America has ruled out several cases in history. Due to the amendments made in the Bill of rights of America, The Supreme Court has been able to rule these cases. Throughout the evidence it has ordered, the Supreme Court has been addressing several liberties such as the civil rights liberties (Domino, 2018). The constitution provides the supreme Court with executive power that enables it to make a ruling of a case that is from the inferior courts to give out an outstanding decision over the matter. Here are some of the evidence that the Supreme Court of American has ruled out, which include the Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1890), the Kyollo v. the United States, the District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), and the New York Times Co. v. United States (1971).
The Supreme Court has a well-known power as granted by section 2 article III of the Supreme Court that gives it judicial power over all cases in civil laws and Justice that may arise under the constitution of America. Through this power granted to the Supreme Court, it means that the main task for the Supreme Court of America is ensuring that the laws are constitutional. It usually addresses the civil liberties from all cases that the laws violet the constitution. The only conventional way for a claim to be heard by the Supreme Court is when an appeal from a circuit court. After that, the Court will issue summon where a majority of Justice votes vote to send the case for a Supreme Court hearing.
One of the most important rulings that the Supreme Court of America has ruled out is Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1890). This case moved from the inferior courts following the necessary steps that any litigation must adhere to reach the Supreme Court. After the majority vote from the three judges in agreement, it was decided that the case should be sent back to the trial court for further action or new ruling. The party later wanted the Supreme Court to hear the case. The party filed the petition for review, and the record was sent to the Supreme Court. The ruling, in this case, was as crucial as it is the most significant landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court. It is the ruling that upheld the constitutionality of racial isolation rules for society facilities for the exclusion was equal to all the public. The doctrine of this ruling later became the famous slogan “Separate but equal” The verdict in this case considered on amendment IV, which states that every person in the U.S. territory is entitled to equal services regardless of their color, social class, and race.
The other case ruled out by the United States Supreme Court is the Kyollo v. the United States. In this case, the United States Supreme Court addressed civil rights liberties. Supreme Court is granted power by the constitution to protect civil liberties to the degree that it upholds the rights of the citizens of America as described in the Bill of Rights and other amendments in the constitution. As usual, this case also followed the same steps, although to the Supreme Court hearing. This case used the most significant revision of American law on the civil Bill of Rights. As in the previous example, this ruling by the United States Supreme Court addresses the civil rights liberties in favor of Kyollo. It used the four decisions of the thermal imaginations to make a sound ruling by the United States Supreme Court. The verdict, in this case, was also crucial as it utilized the fourth amendment and observed the warrant aspect required. She was thereby leaving a landmark decision for the United States Supreme Court cases. It is the ruling that upheld the constitutionality of a device point to monitor the radiation heat of people rules for society facilities for the exclusion was equal to all the public.
The New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) case is also among the cases ruled out by the Supreme Court of America. The ruling, in this case, was as crucial as it is the most significant landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court on the first amendment of the American. It is the ruling that upheld the constitutionality laws and enabled the New York Times and the publication of the Washington Post newspaper without the regulatory risk of punishment or censorship. The ruling also had an impact on the media practice as the Supreme Court of America upholds the constitutional laws that the citizens of America had freedom on the constitution to share information via the media. The case addresses the civil rights liberties of the citizens of America as they are protected by their structure and amendment I. By doing so, the United Supreme Court was able to exercise its primary purpose to protect the nation against violation of the constitutional laws.
Lastly, the Supreme Court of America also ruled a case that involved the District of Columbia and Heller in 2008. The importance of the ruling on this case is that the Supreme Court of America upheld the second amendment that guarantees a person’s right to own firearms while not in the armed force service in the state militia and to utilize guns for traditionally lawful purposes which include self-defense within the home. The Supreme Court was involved in this case after the party filed an appeal. The Court ruled out that the District of Columbia should provide Heller with a permit to own a handgun inside his residence. Through this process, the Supreme Court of America ruled that the Second Amendment protects a person’s right to possess arms and that the district’s handgun ban and trigger lock order was violating the Second Amendment.
To conclude, all the rulings discussed above basically address the civil rights liberties provided by the Supreme Court of America. Like the District of Columbia and the Heller ruling, it helped in the shaping of the Federalism through making Federalism more sounding as it allows individuals from the nation to challenge the central and the national authorities. Besides, through this ruling, the balance of power between the central government and the states was maintained continuously. Through the use of the power granted to the Supreme Court by the constitution, citizens of Africa can get justice ruling as the government has dramatically ceased from violating the constitutional laws. Although the federal govern and the states are independent in a way, maintain a balance of power between them is profound as it helps in reducing the violence of constitutional laws by the public the government itself.
