Supreme Court Decisions: Congressional Research Service Study

The Congressional Research Service published, in 2002, with 2006 supplements, a history of Supreme Court decisions that:

·         overturned previous Supreme Court decisions

·         held acts of congress unconstitutional

·         held state statutes or state constitutional provisions unconstitutional

·         held local laws unconstitutional

·         held state or local laws to be preempted by federal law.

In the documents below, I've incorporated the decisions from the CRS 2006 updates and linked their citations to the full texts of the cases on Justia.

The essays and the opinions provide an education into the legal/cultural changes embodied by the Supreme Court's decisions since the founding of the nation.
