AP Supreme Court Cases

Introduction

Review the top 15 Supreme Court cases from a typical course of study for an AP Government class and better understand these landmark Supreme Court cases and the U.S. Constitution’s foundational principles. Cases include McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), Engel v. Vitale (1962), Schenck v. United States (1919), Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), Baker v. Carr (1963), and 10 more canonical cases. This is a great unit for middle school students to preview and investigate the Supreme Court cases to encourage further study of government.
