1.     Roe v. Wade (1973) - the Court overturned 38 state lawsthat either banned abortion or restricted it in some form and established a new legal rightto abortion

on demand.

2.     Alden v.Maine (1999) - the Court held that Maine state employees could not sue the state for violating the overtime pay requirements of a federal act. State

immunity from lawsuits "is a fundamental aspect of the sovereignty of states which they retain."

3.     Miranda v. Arizona (1966)-: the Court ruled that Miranda's Sixth Amendment rights were violated and following the decision all of law enforcement were

required to read an accused person their right to remain silent and right to represented by counsel.

4.    City of Boerne v. Flores (1997)- The Court held that Congress had exceeded its constitutional authority when it passed the Religious Freedom and Restoration

Act (RFRA).

5.     Brown v. Board of Education (1954) - the Court ruled that public school segregation of races violates the equal protection clauseof the Fourteenth

School Zones Act in 1990. This was the first time in sixty years that the Court had placed a limit on the national government's authority under the commerce clause.

7.     Washington v. Glucksberg (1997) - the Court declared that the Constitution does not include a right to commit suicide. The Supreme Court left the decision to the

states.

8.  McDonald v. Chicago (2010) the Court reasoned that rights that are "fundamental to the Nation's scheme of ordered liberty" or that are "deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition" are appropriately applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.

9.     Furman v. Georgia (1972) - the Court ruled that the imposition of the death penalty was random and arbitrary and therefore violated the Eighthand

Fourteenth Amendments. The death penalty ceased until states enacted more precise laws so that the death penalty would be applied more consistently.
