For the final required SCOTUS case for the AP U.S. Government and Politics course, I examine the case that applied the Second Amendment to the states - more specifically, the individual right to bear arms: McDonald v. Chicago.

In this episode, I examine the controversial case that paved the way for corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections: Citizens United v. FEC.

In this episode, I examine the case that opined on race being a factor in redistricting: Shaw v. Reno.

In this episode, I examine the case that established a woman’s right to choose: Roe v. Wade.

In this episode, I examine the case that further established the "heavy presumption" against prior restraint, or government suppression of speech before the fact: New York Times Co. v. United States.

In this episode, I examine the case that guaranteed the First Amendment protections for students did not end at the school gates: Tinker v. Des Moines. 

In this episode, I examine the case that extended the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel to state courts: Gideon v. Wainwright. Enjoy!
