Identify the most important Supreme Court cases and executive actions and their impact on law and on our society.
The history of the United States has been marked by the progressive expansion of voting rights and the protection of its citizens through legislation and Supreme Court decisions. At the same time, executive orders, particularly in periods of crisis led to the violation of individual rights. Throughout this module, these issues are covered. In chapters 3 and 4 you will find the information you need to answer this question. You are also encouraged to visit the following websites for further details.

First, pick a theme/topic (i.e., sports, Cowboys/vaqueros, entertainment, art, music, immigration, yachting, education, women, medicine). Then, you will select five historical events (major and minor) that happened during the time period of this week’s reading—essentially 1877 to the early 1900s. You will then create a five-point timeline around this theme/topic.
Here are the specific details:
You will write a 150-word introduction that explains the theme and why you have chosen the theme.
You will write a brief summary of the article, and this summary will be at least 150 words. Each summary will include a DIRECT quote from the newspaper source. (This means you’ll have FIVE paragraphs and FIVE direct quotes, hence the name–five-point timeline.)
QUOTATIONS: As previously mentioned, EACH 150-word article summary will have ONE short (no more than two sentences) direct quote from the article. Do NOT just drop in the quotes, and do make sure you properly cite the quotation. 
Before or after each entry, include a screenshot of the article from which you got the information. 
You will use newspapers or magazines FROM THE TIME PERIOD to gather your information. Do NOT simply use Google; the information MUST COME FROM MAGAZINES OR NEWSPAPERS FROM THE TIME PERIOD. If you use secondary sources, you will automatically receive a zero on this assignment. 
CHICAGO or MLA–Make sure you accurately cite the information so that you are not plagiarizing what you find.
If you’re doing the math correctly, you will see that your final submission will be at least 900 words.

What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary? Some people argue that courts have become too powerful and that judges legislate from the bench. What does it mean for a court to be activist? What does it mean for a court to show judicial restraint? Although conservatives have long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years liberals have pointed out that conservative judges and justices are now more likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government. Conservatives counter by saying they are simply returning to an older precedent that had been ignored by liberals. If both liberals and conservatives engage in judicial activism, what is the role of the concept of “activism” (perhaps judicial activism is just a term used to describe a court decision you disagree with)?
