Supreme Court Pros And Cons

In this essay I will be talking about what is constitutional and unconstitutional. One of the questions is going to be if something is right in the eyes of the people is it also right in front of the Supreme Court? Judicial Review is also a topic we are going to look at. So sit back and enjoy my topics and hopefully we will see eye to eye just like the Supreme Court and the people try to do.

Judicial review is the power of the federal courts to hold any law or any official act based on the law to be null, void and unenforceable because it is in conflict with the Constitution.

When his case reached the Supreme Court he said that the state of Texas revoked his rights of the first amendment, which is the protection of his rights of freedom of speech and expression. He believed that the law that was set in place to define what was a “respected” object wasn’t clear enough. The Supreme Court ruled that Johnson’s liberties were violated when Texas took him to jail, and that his actions were protected and legal by the Constitution. Even though most American’s probably thought that it was against the Constitution and against the government to burn a flag, he was expressing his rights even though it was very
