Supreme court cases
For this assignment:
1.First, list the current 9 members of the United States Supreme Court.
2.Second, choose one of the five cases below. In 4-5 sentences summarize (in your own words): ◦The key points in the case and explain the law being challenged; the part or amendment to the Constitution discussed in the case; and the states or local governments, if any, that were mentioned in the case.
3.Third, in a few sentences explain the final ruling in the case by the Supreme Court and how the ruling in the case impacts the lives of Americans. You may need to look for an additional news article if you are unsure.
Be sure to include the links to any news articles or websites you visit by copying and pasting the link at the end of your assignment and be sure to sort of sources.
